On Thursday, it's the IFAB's ABM.
Why does it matter? It's the key meeting which essentially decides which Laws should be modified for the 2022-23 season.
This is the key part of the agenda. But what does this mean, and what is likely to change?

There are a series of proposals which will be discussed which aren't covered here.
For instance, sources have told me that the IFAB will definitely discuss the offside law - in particular the deliberate play of the ball that can make a player in an offside position onside.

The IFAB will discuss this aspect of offside, and possible options.
If deemed appropriate or indeed needed, the IFAB will consider changes to the wording of the offside law.
However, it may yet be deemed that further consultation is needed before any change is made.

The IFAB will discuss the changes to the Laws for this season, such as handball, to review their effectiveness and discuss is any modification is needed. Nothing is expected here.
The items under "Laws of the Game 2022/23" aren't very exciting.

This will add clarification that the referee tosses the coin to determine ‘ends’ and kick-off.
Law 10 – Determining the Outcome of a Match
Adds that a team official may be cautioned or sent off during a penalty shootout.

Law 14 – The Penalty Kick
Will clarify in the wording of the Law that a goalkeeper can have one line behind the line on a penalty kick (refining from saying on or above).
So, as you can see, nothing hugely game-changing in that.

The final section is discussion topics.
It is expected that the IFAB will approve a proposal to make the option for make 5 subs (at 3 points) in a competition a permanent law change.
Note: Comps don't need to have 5. They can have as many as they want up to 5.

The IFAB is also expected to approve an extension of the trial of concussion substitutes beyond the initial end date (August 2022) to be able to gather more relevant data.
VAR "light" will discuss the development of low-cost VAR for smaller leagues and competitions.

Electronic Performance and Tracking Systems (EPTS), and FIFA trials, will be discussed.
And the latest results of trials of semi-automated VAR offside will be presented. Will it be on course for the 2022 World Cup finals?

And a reminder that while CONMEBOL's proposal for a 25-minute half-time break will be discussed, this is only a procedural matter and has already been rebuffed by the Advisory Panels.
