The International Football Federation (FIFA) is preparing revolutionary changes to disciplinary rules, which will take place during the World Cup 2026. According to information seen by The Times, the referees will revoke the instructions to punish the gravers with straight cards of hearts for two new offenses.
If a football player covers his mouth with his hand or his T-shirt during a fight with an opponent (so that the cameras and referees cannot read what was said on his lips), he will be unintentionally ejected from the field.
Players who are likely to voluntarily leave the lawn as a sign of bad luck with the decisions of the referee are also guaranteed to take away the red card.
It turns out that FIFA President Gianni Infantino officially announces these disciplinary measures this Thursday, the 30th of April, at the hour of the organization’s congress in the Canadian Vancouver. The catalyst for innovation has become. Benfica Lisbon winger Gianluca Prestianni has received a 6-match suspension (3 of which are mental) for making homophobic images at the address of Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior. In the midst of the conflict, the Argentinean arrogantly accepted his words, pulling his T-shirt over his face.
