Change The Game Blog

Welcome to our Change The Game Blog!

I am your newest 2026 NAWC team member Luc Goyeau.  I am so excited to announce I will be writing an ongoing series of blogs about how we can adjust the rules, environment, and all elements of Soccer to produce the most attractive game for the 2026 World Cup and beyond.   

A little about me before we get started; I have worked within the game of Soccer in Canada and the USA for the last decade coaching, as an agent, and now I could not be more excited to be a content creator for 2026 NAWC.   The mission of this blog is one that has been close to my heart; how can we change the game at all levels and to be more exciting to watch and play. 

This blog will cover subjects ranging from the much talked about – substitution rules and the dreaded VAR – to topics you may not have ever considered – the size of the pitch or how youth players are treated differently around the world. I would like you to use this post as a place for people to leave comments suggesting topics that you would like to hear discussed.  Anything that would improve the game for fans is not out of the question, nothing is too outlandish!
