FIFA President Gianni Infantino wants to red card players who cover their mouths during on-pitch confrontations — and honestly, the logic is hard to argue with.

"If you don't have something to hide, you don't hide your mouth when you say something. That's it, as simple as that."
— Gianni Infantino

The debate exploded after Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni was accused of racially abusing Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior during a Champions League match — while shielding his mouth with his shirt. He denied the allegations but was provisionally suspended by UEFA.

Here's where things stand:

Infantino has proposed automatic red cards for any player caught covering their mouth during a confrontation.
IFAB (the body that governs football's laws) has opened a formal consultation on the matter.
A decision could come at the FIFA Congress in Vancouver on April 30 — potentially in time for the 2026 World Cup.
Infantino also floated lighter sanctions for players who apologise genuinely after an incident.

This isn't just a football story. It's a governance story — about how institutions respond when the rules don't keep pace with the behaviour they're trying to prevent.

The mouth-covering habit has long been an open secret in football. The question is whether football is finally ready to treat intent as evidence.

What do you think — is a red card the right deterrent, or does it risk punishing players without proof?

FA Van and FC Pyunik have reached an agreement for the loan transfer of Aris Karapetyan.

Karapetyan, a 20-year-old Armenian midfielder, has previously featured for the reserve sides of Pyunik and BKMA, in addition to representing the Armenia U-19 national team.

During the current season, he has made 15 appearances and scored two goals.

The club is pleased to welcome Aris and looks forward to his contributions, wishing him continued success on the pitch.
