FIFA has implemented a new regulation that empowers referees to issue red cards to players who walk off the pitch in protest during matches. This rule is part of the governing body's efforts to maintain order and discipline on the field, particularly in the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup. The decision aims to address the growing trend of player protests and ensure that matches are conducted in a fair and respectful manner. The new rule will be enforced in all FIFA-sanctioned competitions, including the upcoming World Cup.
