FIFA to vote on anti-racism and discrimination proposals on Friday

In the wake of growing racist remarks both within teams and shouted by the fans, FIFA is to a vote on Friday about proposals it hopes will help eliminate racism and discrimination in the game.

The measures, from FIFA's new anti-racism task force, will introduce extra observers at games and tough penalties for clubs whose players, officials or fans are guilty of racism.

Speaking in Mauritius, where FIFA's annual congress is being held, Jeffery Webb described the sanctions as a "wake-up call" and warned that even future World Cup hosts could be punished under the new sanctions.

The task force is also proposing the introduction of anti-discrimination officers at key games to aid evidence-gathering and the introduction of a hotline for players and fans to report incidents.
