Fifa president Gianni Infantino said he wanted to bring in something which has “a deterrent effect” and backed a red card<\/a>.<\/p>\n Infantino said: “If a player covers his mouth and says something, and this has a racist consequence, then he has to be sent off, obviously.<\/p>\n “There must be a presumption that he has said something he shouldn’t have said, otherwise he wouldn’t have had to cover his mouth.<\/p>\n “If you do not have something to hide, you don’t hide your mouth when you say something. That’s it, as simple as that.”<\/p>\n In the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, Senegal left the field and returned to the changing rooms in protest at a penalty awarded to Morocco.<\/p>\n When the players eventually returned Brahim Diaz chipped his Panenka penalty into the hands of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, and Senegal went on to win 1-0. <\/p>\n But the Confederation of African Football (Caf) has since stripped Senegal of the title<\/a> and awarded Morocco a 3-0 win.<\/p>\n This new rule will also apply to any team official who incites players to leave the pitch.<\/p>\n A team that causes a match to be abandoned will, in principle, forfeit the match.<\/p>\n
