UEFA has decided to hold off the anticipated changes to the current set of rules, which were approved by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) during the season, until June 25.
The new rules were set to be applied by June 1, which is the day of the Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.
IFAB's new guidelines prohibit - amongst other things - attacking players to place themselves in the wall during a free-kick, while they will rule out any goal scored with the hand, either intentionally or not.
Thus, no games until June 25 will be played under the new rules, which are expected to come into effect ahead of the 2019/20 Champions League qualifying rounds.

The rule i would have like to it changed is A Hand Ball being Delibarate or Not. To me ,it would be more unique and faire to every Team or Country to be like this: At any insident a ball tourches a players hand,it should be a strait hand ball without having to need a further VAR consultation or more unfair decissions. An example the match between Argentina and Senegal in Russia and many other many other matches.
