FIFA has issued a new rule: players who cover their mouths during arguments or leave the field in protest of referee decisions can be shown a red card.

On April 28, local time, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) unanimously approved two rule amendments proposed by FIFA at a special meeting in Vancouver, Canada. The new rules primarily target discriminatory behavior and misconduct, and will be used for the first time at the 2026 USA-Mexico World Cup.
