Fifa taskforce wants

        
  Member associations will vote on the measures at Fifa's annual congress in Mauritius at the end of May.The proposals would apply only to Fifa-mandated competitions but sources close to the discussions have told the BBC they expect Fifa to encourage other confederations to adopt the same or similar measures.The new taskforce - formed by football's world governing body in a bid to combat discrimination in the game - had its first meeting on Monday and is led by Jeffrey Webb, a Fifa vice-president from the Cayman Islands.European football's governing body Uefa already adopts a monitoring system in co-operation with Fare (Football Against Racism in Europe). It is expected that Fifa's proposal would be administered along similar lines.The sanction regime that will be proposed by the anti-racism taskforce would start with stronger fines being levied or games played behind closed doors.A second taskforce meeting is planned for the autumn to look at plans for an education programme across football.The second and/or third steps would be increasingly severe with points deductions for offending teams or even elimination from competitions.
