Almiron first to face "mouth covering law"
Paraguay national team player Miguel Almirón was sent off during a match against Turkey in the 2026 World Cup after covering his mouth while speaking to his opponent, in accordance with a new rule implemented by FIFA aimed at preventing players from hiding their mouths to avoid racist remarks or verbal threats. The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) reviewed the incident and summoned the referee to show the red card, in an effort to prevent similar incidents like the Bristiani case. Paraguay’s national team won the match 1-0 and maintained their lead in Group 4, although Almirón could face an indefinite ban from future matches.
