The Football Association has increased the minimum ban for discrimination offences to 10 matches, a significant rise from the previous six-match minimum.
New sanctions apply across football
The new sanction applies to all forms of discrimination, including racism, homophobia, and sexism, and covers players, coaches, and officials across all levels of football.
The FA stated that the change is intended to send a strong message that discrimination will not be tolerated in the sport.
