- FIFPro said that during the 2026 World Cup, it is necessary to ban racist discrimination in stadiums.
- The FIFPro organization also called for the introduction of a ban on racist discrimination in stadiums, noting that it involves 11 red cards.
- FIFPro called on football authorities and international institutions to introduce concrete regulations in the 2026 World Cup that would make it impossible to change the course of action in cases of racist discrimination.
FIFPro’s players’ union said that during the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, it is necessary to introduce measures to prevent racist discrimination in stadiums.
The organization of FIFPro also explained that footballers are subject to such a ban, which is designed to prevent racist discrimination and ensure that it does not happen in stadiums during the tournament. FIFPro noted that in addition to the measures, the union also proposed a ban on racist discrimination, which would be applied to footballers who are found guilty of such incidents.
FIFPro does not have specific regulations. In particular, it is noted that the ban on racist discrimination is likely to be implemented through a system of red cards, which would be issued for such incidents during the tournament.
The organization believes that footballers who commit such actions should receive a red card, and that it would be impossible to change the course of action to avoid punishment. FIFPro also called for “competitive investigations” to be effective in cases of such incidents.
In the materials, it is also stated that FIFPro has not found any specific problem with the current rules, but it is proposed to introduce a ban on racist discrimination in the tournament. It is also noted that FIFA should introduce a ban on racist discrimination in the World Cup.
