READING:
FIFA, the organization that controls world football, wants to make a new rule to stop racism. It wants red cards for players who cover their mouths when they argue with other players. If a player gets a red card, they are sent off. Recently, there have been several cases of racism. Last month, Brazilian international Vinicius Junior, 25, was playing for Real Madrid against Benfica. Vinicius said a Benfica player racially insulted him. The match was then suspended for ten minutes. Vinicius has faced 20 cases of racial abuse since joining Madrid in 2018.
The boss of FIFA wants footballers who cover their mouths to be sent off. A player who receives a red card for discrimination can get up to a 10-match ban. The FIFA boss said if a player covered their mouth during an argument, any comments they made could be racist, so that player should be sent off. Real Madrid is happy that FIFA is thinking about a new red-card rule for racism. It said it would also continue working together with all institutions to get rid of racism. It hopes to end racism, violence, and hate in sport and society.
