Just a few hours after the Paraguayan midfielder Damián Bobadilla was accused by the Venezuelan defender Miguel Navarro to utter a Xenophobic insult during the match between São Paulo y Workshops by the Copa LibertadoresFIFA modified its disciplinary code (CDF) and included a series of oriented updates, he explained, to counteract discriminatory behavior both inside and outside the field.
Through the circular No. 1934, dated May 28 in Zurich, where its headquarters are, the Mother of World Football Mother made all its affiliated federations the 2025 edition of the CDF, which will rule from Sunday June 1which will modify the procedure to follow in case there is discriminatory behavior during a party and will also harden the sanctions for that kind of behavior.
The most relevant changes are embodied in article 15 of the CDF. While in its title reference is made to “Racist aggressions”its scope is much greater. In fact, in its section 1 it is clarified that the measures contemplated there are focused on all “discriminatory or vexational behaviors for reasons of race, skin color, ethnic, national or social origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, language, religion, political positioning or of any other nature, purchasing power, place of birth or by any other status or reason”.
The new CDF establishes that if there is a discriminatory aggression by one or more spectators during a party, the referee must apply the three -level FIFA procedure, which allows it to interrupt the game, suspend it temporarily and, in case the situation cannot be resolved, suspend it definitively.
If a footballer, a member of a coaching staff or a member of the arbitration team suffers an aggression of this type during a meeting, can inform the main referee, who will interrupt the game so that those responsible for the club or the Federation Member Member hosts, or the organizing authority deploy the necessary personnel in the stadium sector where the aggression occurred to put an end. The attacked person may demand that the aggressors be expelled from the stadium if possible to identify them.
If the aggressors cannot be expelled and reincidate in their behavior, The referee can suspend the game until the aggressions cease. If this does not happen, the judge may definitely suspend the meeting. In this case, the party or federation responsible will be lost for the party or federation.
In turn, FIFA increased fines that clubs or federations whose supporters incur discriminatory behaviors, regardless of whether these clubs or federations can demonstrate that they had no responsibility in the events or had a negligent behavior: the economic sanctions will be between 20,000 Swiss francs (24,200 dollars) and 5 million Swiss francs (6.04 million dollars).
In addition to the fines, Clubs or federations can receive another kind of sanctions As the dispute of a match with a limited number of spectators, the dispute of one or more matches by closed doors, the prohibition of playing in a given stadium, the discount of points, the exclusion of a competition or the descent of category.
The new CDF also establishes that Member Federations and Clubs must take the necessary measures to prohibit the entrance to the stadiums to any person who has been accused or declared guilty of having committed discriminatory aggression Against a player, a member of an arbitration team or a member of a coaching staff through social networks or on any other digital platform or medium of written communication.
Besides, FIFA reserves the right to appeal to the Deportive Arbitration Court (TAS) decisions in cases of discriminatory aggressionsas well as to intervene in cases where a member federation does not properly investigate incidents linked to discriminatory aggressions or process offenders.
These normative updates They must be incorporated into the internal disciplinary regulations of the 211 federations that make up FIFA no later than December 31, 2025.
