Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>World football governing body, FIFA, says it wants all of its national federations to make racist abuse a disciplinary offense.<\/b><\/p>\n

It detailed the tougher approach to tackle racism on Thursday, after months of consulting with victimized players, including Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will make racism a specific offence with mandatory inclusion in the individual Disciplinary Codes of all 211 FIFA member associations, differentiating it from other incidents,” said newly appointed Secretary General, Mattias Grafstrom.<\/p>\n

The measures will be put to FIFA member federations on Friday as they gather in the Thai capital, Bangkok, for their annual meeting.<\/p>\n

They include mandatory sanctions, possible match forfeits, action on the field, and potential criminal charges.<\/p>\n

The proposal also describes a global standard gesture, which would see a player raising their hands and crossing their wrists to alert referees to a racist incident.<\/p>\n

This would set in motion a three-step procedure \u2013 to pause the play and broadcast warnings in the stadium, to take teams off the field, and then abandon games.<\/p>\n

FIFA also wants to create a panel of players who will \u201cmonitor and advise on the implementation of these actions around the world\u201d.<\/p>\n

The sport has struggled for more than a decade to deal with racism both on the field and in stadiums.<\/p>\n
