BERNE, April 28 (Reuters) - Players have voted in favour of allowing a fourth substitution in matches in a survey conducted by the World Players' Union FIFPro.
Football's law-making body, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), rejected a proposal in February to allow a fourth substitution in extra time, instead referring it back for further analysis to an advisory panel.
However, FIFPro, which is represented on the IFAB advisory panel which met in London on Monday, said that 84 percent of the players who took part in its survey wanted the fourth substitution to be allowed at some point in a game.
