Racism is a risk when Vancouver hosts World Cup, but measures exist: B.C. AG Sharma
The plan sets 37 commitments across 17 ministries to improve services, strengthen oversight and curb discrimination in health care, labour and justice.
- Vancouver released a plan last week implementing a zero-tolerance protocol for all acts of discrimination at public-facing World Cup venues and events within its control.
- FIFA's 'Global Stand Against Racism' includes anti-discrimination observers for high-risk matches and an anti-racism signal allowing players, coaches and officials to alert referees to incidents.
- Referees possess authority to pause, suspend, or abandon matches if abuse continues; officials may issue red cards for covering mouths during confrontations, as seen at the European Champions League.
- FIFA has previously punished national federations including Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and The Turkish Football Federation for discriminatory behavior during matches against Georgia and Austria.
- During last year's FIFA Club World Cup, fans used an app to report discriminatory material, as FIFA continues developing measures amid ongoing incidents involving players of African heritage.
