FIFA Unveils 2025 Disciplinary Code with Stronger Measures Against Racism and Greater Accountability
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

FIFA is taking a firmer stance in the fight against racism and inequality in football with the launch of the 2025 edition of its Disciplinary Code. In a circular dated May 28, FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström announced sweeping reforms designed to promote fairness, inclusivity, and stronger ethical standards across the game.

A key highlight of the revised code is the introduction of a formal, three-step anti-discrimination protocol under Article 15—approved unanimously during the 74th FIFA Congress in Bangkok. This framework empowers players, coaches, referees, and officials to take immediate action when faced with racist incidents during matches. It ensures there is a structured way to report and respond to discrimination on the field.

FIFA has also increased the financial penalty for acts of discrimination, with fines now reaching up to CHF 5 million. Crucially, the global body now has the authority to challenge disciplinary decisions related to racism at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and intervene when national federations fail to act appropriately.

Member Associations have until December 31, 2025, to align their own regulations with the new code—marking a global step forward in creating a safer, more respectful environment in football.

Beyond tackling racism, the updated code brings in new protections for creditors in insolvency cases and redefines “Integrity Experts” as “Disciplinary and Ethics Prosecutors,” underlining a stronger commitment to transparency and ethical governance.

FIFA’s latest reforms send a clear message: football must be a game for all, free from discrimination, and guided by integrity at every level.
