FIFA has introduced new measures to check racism. Under the new measures voted in by FIFA, teams could be relegated or expelled from competitions for serious incidents of racism. First or minor offences will result in either a warning, fine or order for games to be played behind closed doors. Habitual offenders or serious errants could lead to a points deduction, expulsion from competition or relegation. Fifa president Sepp Blatter believes the measures will send a strong signal to the racists that their time is up. The resolution on the fight against racism and discrimination was passed with a 99 per cent majority vote at the world governing body's congress in Mauritius.
