FIFA: Players who deliberately cough at match officials or other players will be sent off with a red card
FIFA recently announced that players who deliberately cough at match officials or other players will be sent off with a red card.
On August 4, according to Xinhua News Agency, FIFA recently announced that players who deliberately coughed into match officials or other players will be sent off with a red card.
The referee needs to make a decision based on the specific circumstances. If the player coughs not intentionally or when he is far away from others, the referee shall not penalize him. The referee can show a red card when the distance is close and the intention to attack is very obvious.
