FIFA Eyes 'Prestianni Law' Amid Vinicius Racism Row to Combat On-Field Abuse

• FIFA is considering new regulations, informally called the 'Prestianni Law', to address on-field abuse.
• The proposed rule targets players who deliberately cover their mouths while abusing opponents.
• This follows allegations that Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni made a racist remark to Vinícius Júnior while covering his mouth.
• FIFA's Players’ Voice Committee will review if mouth-covering during offensive remarks should be an aggravating factor.
• The initiative aims to increase transparency and accountability, discouraging hidden insults and aggressive language.
