Fifa wants to abolish this little habit, in the name of its fight against sexism. The director of the diversity program of FIFA, Federico Addiechi, announced it on July 11 at a press conference.

'It's something we will put in place in the future, it's a normal evolution,' he said.

'We did it individually with presenters, and we did it with broadcasters as well ... We will act against things that are not going well,' Federico Addiechi added.
