Why do rules change in football?

Football rules, especially competition regulations, often evolve to address fairness, player welfare, or commercial interests. UEFA's new rule, preventing repeat home fixtures, aims to add variety and potentially distribute high-profile matches more broadly across different venues and fanbases, ensuring a fresh experience for supporters and broadcasters alike.
