Almiron penalized by FIFA's new rule in 2026 World Cup
During the Turkey vs. Paraguay match in the 2026 World Cup, a new FIFA law was implemented. Paraguayan player Miguel Almirón was directly sent off after covering his mouth while speaking on the pitch, making him the first player to be sent off under the new rule banning mouth covering, which was introduced this year. Almirón had previously received a yellow card in the first half for violating anti-diving regulations. The law aims to reduce verbal abuse and racist comments and to document what takes place inside the stadium.
