FIFA has decided to amend the disciplinary rules before the start of the World Cup. It is worth noting that a number of new rules will appear at the tournament, one of which concerns the punishment of players for racist statements, while the corresponding changes have been made to the code.
Now, according to the new rules, the punishment for a football player will be halved if he admits his guilt in racism or discriminatory actions. In addition, players who admit their guilt will be eligible to participate in educational programs and have their suspension period reduced by half.. Let us remind you that earlier IFAB approved new grounds for removing players from the field.
