International Football Association Board approves red card rule for players covering mouths during confrontations
The IFAB approved new amendments to football rules at a special meeting in Vancouver that allow referees to issue red cards to players who cover their mouths during confrontations with opponents, aimed at preventing hidden abusive comments. The rule will be in effect at the upcoming World Cup in North America. Additional amendments permit red cards for players or team officials who walk off the field in protest of referee decisions.
