The Paraguay national football team has suffered its first expulsion under the 'Prestianni law' in the 2026 World Cup. Miguel Almirón, from Atlanta United, was sent off in the 45+3 minute of the match against Turkey for covering his mouth while speaking to an opponent. The Salvadoran referee Iván Barton, with his back to the action, was called from the VAR room to review it. The new rule, which some call 'Prestianni law' and others 'Vinicius law', is one of the ones that FIFA decided to introduce for this World Cup. The incident that starred Vinicius Jr. and Gianluca Prestianni during a Benfica-Real Madrid match in the last Champions League, when the Brazilian denounced the referee of the match, the Frenchman François Lexetier, that the Argentine had dedicated a racist insult to him while covering his mouth with his hand, had its first practical consequence on Friday night. FIFA sanctioned Prestianni with six games for discriminatory behavior, but the controversy led FIFA to act through the IFAB, the body in charge of football rules. In an extraordinary meeting in Vancouver, Canada, the new rule was unanimously decided, defended by the same FIFA president, Gianni Infantino. The Paraguayan Miguel Almirón has been the first to experience the 'Prestianni law' in the 2026 World Cup. The Paraguay national football team continues its participation in the tournament, with the hope of advancing to the next rounds. The 'Prestianni law' is one of the new rules that FIFA has introduced in this World Cup, with the aim of avoiding expressions that referees cannot detect. The Paraguay national football team must adapt to these new rules to be successful in the tournament. The expulsion of Miguel Almirón is an example of the importance of respecting the rules of the game. The Paraguay national football team must continue working to improve its performance and advance in the 2026 World Cup.
