One of the plan's proposals includes a standard crossed-hands gesture for players to communicate racist incidents during matches. The 'Global Stand Against Racism' proposal will be presented at Fifa's annual congress.
Fifa aims to make racism a specific offence with severe sanctions, including match forfeits, and will pause, suspend, or abandon games in racism cases. It calls for racism to be recognized as a criminal offence globally and will engage in education initiatives to eliminate racism.
A former players' anti-racism panel will oversee the proposal's progress. High-profile cases like Vinicius Jr's and incidents during the 2022 World Cup have highlighted the urgency for measures against racism in football.
England manager Southgate's denouncement of racist abuse towards Rashford, Sancho, and Saka emphasizes the need for FIFA's comprehensive plan to address and eradicate racism in football.
