FIFA announced on Tuesday that players who cover their mouths during confrontations with opponents could be sent off at this year's World Cup under new anti-racism measures. Walking off the pitch in protest at refereeing decisions may also result in red cards. The rules aim to combat racism in football by penalizing actions that could incite or display discriminatory behavior.
