FIFA Council Approves New Red Card Rules

MDR Aktuell Zurich 14d13d Impact 5

FIFA plans to ease yellow card restrictions during the upcoming World Cup in North America. Teams will now forfeit matches if they cause a game to be abandoned. During that match, Benfica's Jean-Lucca Pristiani was accused of making racist comments to Real Madrid's Venetius Junior while covering his mouth with his jersey. FIFA announced that verbal confrontations with opponents during this year's Men's World Cup will result in a red card. The announcement was reported by the BBC World Service. The FIFA Council is meeting during the International Football Federation Congress in Vancouver to discuss changing yellow card suspension rules for the World Cup. The announcement comes as London Zoo plans to open a state-of-the-art animal hospital with a public viewing gallery. Under the proposed rules, cautions would be annulled twice, including the first instance following the group stage.

Under the proposed rules, cautions would be annulled twice, including the first instance following the group stage. The council is discussing these adjustments to address concerns regarding overloaded match calendars. This regulation follows a February Champions League incident where a Benfica player allegedly used a hand to mask racist comments directed at Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior. New football regulations have been approved to address player conduct. The proposal also aims to prevent repeat incidents similar to the Africa Cup of Nations final.
