Torns IF gained international attention in 2023 by demonstrating a creative "scoop pass" trick that exploited the offside rule using the ball balanced on a playerâÂÂs foot, prompting debate over the rule's interpretation. After discussions with IFAB and viral interest, the offside law was officially amended for the 2025âÂÂ26 season, with Torns IF proudly claiming credit for influencing the change.
