🚨 The Canadian Premier League will conduct a 'daylight offside' trial in cooperation with FIFA when its season starts on April 4. The trial is led by FIFA and approved by IFAB. It is designed to favour attackers. 🗣️ FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development Arsene Wenger: "This is an important pilot. By testing this new interpretation in a professional competition, we can better understand its impact, including in terms of improving clarity and the flow of the game and promoting attacking play. "We look forward to analysing the results of the trial phase. We thank the Canadian Premier League and the Canadian Soccer Association for their willingness to support FIFA with this pilot and for providing their competition." An attacking player will be considered onside if at least one part of their body that can legitimately be used to score in line with (or behind) the second-to-last defender. A player will only be ruled offside if there is a gap – or daylight' – between themselves and the defender. In effect, attackers must be fully beyond the second last defending player to be penalised. FIFA add by "introducing a clearer visual threshold, the trial is aimed at restoring a greater attacking advantage and boosting the flow of matches."


💰 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐁 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓: 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝟑𝟎 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 The Board of Scunthorpe United confirms that it will submit its financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025 tomorrow. The accounts show a reported loss of approximately £738,000 for the year (2024: approximately £674,000). While the headline result appears slightly worse year-on-year, the Board wishes to highlight an exceptional factor that materially affects comparability between the two periods: the 2024 reported loss was significantly supported by non-recurring donations. Adjusting for those donations, the underlying loss position in 2024 was closer to £1 million. The 2025 result also reflects legacy contracts and cost commitments honoured from the prior ownership period, which have continued to create cost drag during the transition. The Board are encouraged by the progress made during the current financial year. The current outlook indicates a projected loss for the year ending 30 June 2026 of approximately £400,000, representing a further meaningful reduction in the annual loss position and continued improvement in the Club’s underlying trading trajectory. This figure excludes the impact of a play-off run, which would materially improve the figure detailed. The Board also wishes to confirm it will be holding an Annual General Meeting in April 2026. This will provide an open forum for shareholders to put questions directly to the Board, as well as to our Accountant Mark Jackson‑Stapleton and Andy Butler. Further details regarding the AGM arrangements, including date, time and venue, will be communicated in due course. #UTI #IRON
