Why FIFA wants to introduce the 'Prestianni Law' in football
The Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) is considering introducing a new law that would bar players from speaking while covering their mouths, dubbed the ‘Prestianni Law.’
The match between Benfica and Real Madrid at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, was halted for 10 minutes after Vinícius Jr reported racial abuse by Gianluca Prestianni to referee François Letexier. Vinícius and his teammates temporarily left the field in protest.
Replays showed the Argentine footballer lifting his jersey to cover his mouth while speaking to Vinícius Jnr.
