FIFA wants to crack down on images of 'hot women' fans in bid to fight sexism
Football's governing body FIFA has instructed television broadcasters to stop focusing on "hot women" fans attending 2018 World Cup matches in an effort to tackle sexism.
FIFA diversity chief Federico Addiechi said: "We've done it with individual broadcasters. We've done it with our host broadcast services".
He added that FIFA was not yet being “proactive” about the policy but would “take action against things that are wrong.”
The “hot female fan” image is widespread in coverage of the World Cup. Photo agency Getty Images recently came under fire after it published a photo gallery of “the hottest fans at the World Cup.”
"Soccer is known as the beautiful game, and that includes its fans," the subheading read. "Check out photos of some of the sexiest here."
Twitter users were quick to slam Getty Images for the piece, calling it "pretty sexist" and "inappropriate".
Before the World Cup kicked off in Russia, there were widespread fears that racism and ****phobia would be the most pressing problems at this year's tournament. Many pointed to Russia's notorious anti-LGBT legislation and to previous incidents involving Russian fans engaging in racist chants at matches.
However, sexism has been the main focus of discrimination.
FIFA is collaborating with the anti-discrimination group Fare Network to monitor the behaviour of fans in Russia. Its executive director Piara Powar insists that sexism has been one of the biggest problems at the tournament.
Powar shed light on how instances of female reporters being kissed or grabbed on live television are becoming a common phenomenon at this year's World Cup. He also revealed that the group has come across more than 30 cases of Russian women being "accosted" in the streets by male fans.
At a briefing on Wednesday, Addiechi acknowledged the sexist incidents and said FIFA planned to talk with national broadcasters and its own TV production team about the issue.
He said FIFA has been working with Russian police to identify fans who have assaulted female reporters.
Some of them have lost their FAN IDs — the documents required for all spectators to access World Cup stadiums — and been forced to leave the country as a result of such behaviour, he added.
