The harshest proposals concern confrontations with officials. The report says a player who leaves the field to protest a decision could receive a direct red card, while a coordinated walk-off by a team could result in defeat by forfeit.
Coaches and staff who encourage players to abandon the match would face the same consequence under the reported framework. Covering the mouth with a hand, arm or shirt during an argument could also bring a direct dismissal, making offensive language easier to identify through lip-reading and broadcast cameras.
That approach would draw a hard line between emotional reaction and behaviour that threatens the authority of the referee.
The report says officials could use a visible five-second hand count for deliberately delayed throw-ins and goal kicks.
Substitutions would also be timed. A player would reportedly have 10 seconds to leave by the nearest touchline. Exceeding that limit could leave the team with 10 players for at least one minute, or until the next official stoppage.
VAR could reportedly review wrongly awarded corners and overturn clearly mistaken second yellow cards. Microcameras and advanced ball chips are also being considered to speed up reviews involving fouls and offside decisions.
The package includes mandatory three-minute hydration breaks around the 22nd minute of each half. Outfield players treated on the pitch would reportedly wait one minute before returning, except in cases involving serious head injuries, collisions or a booking for the opponent.
The next storyline will be whether these proposals receive formal approval and how referees apply them consistently when the tournament begins.
