After Australian goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne performed a `dance` to bring his national team into the 2022 World Cup, FIFA immediately introduced a new rule that will take effect from July 1.

On June 14, Australia played an intercontinental play-off match with Peru to find the last team to qualify for the 2022 World Cup finals held in Qatar later this year.

Australia’s reserve goalkeeper had a `solo` penalty kick to decide the result of the match.

Worth mentioning, after 90 minutes of official play and 30 minutes of extra time, both teams were still tied at 0-0 and were forced to decide the winner in a lucky penalty shootout.

At that time, goalkeeper Redmayne of the Australian team was replaced on the field in the 120th minute, only to catch 11 meters.

Although neutral fans were very excited with goalkeeper Redmayne’s actions, FIFA said it was unsportsmanlike.

Worth mentioning, Redmayne’s action of dancing in the wooden frame was judged by FIFA as `provoking the opponent` leading to loss of concentration.

Accordingly, from July 1, FIFA will ban cases such as Australian goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne dancing provocatively with the Peruvian striker in the above match.

FIFA referee council president Pierluigi Collina announced that the goalkeeper will have to `stand with both feet on the goal line` when taking penalties or penalty kicks.

In the past, goalkeepers’ dancing actions when taking penalties or penalty shootouts were not uncommon.

Remember that in the 1/8 round of the 2019 Asian Cup, goalkeeper Dang Van Lam of the Vietnam National Team also caused a stir in the online community with his dancing performance in a penalty shootout against Jordan.
