FIFA Announces Tougher Sanctions In Cases Of Racism From Congress In Maritius by jacoboj: 9:36am On Jun 02, 2013
FIFA's Congress in Mauritius on Friday adopted a resolution that will lead to tougher sanctions in cases of racism, including points deductions and even relegation for repeat offenders.
Teams could be relegated or expelled from competitions for serious incidents of racism after tough new powers were voted in by Fifa.
First or minor offences will result in either a warning, fine or order for a match to be played behind closed doors.
Serious or repeat offences can now be punished by a points deduction, expulsion or relegation.

Many of the voters at the congress where overwhelmingly in favor of the resolution, with 204 votes for and just 1 against,(wonder who had the one vote against)
