Players who dive in English football will face bans from next season under new Football Association regulations.<\/p>\n

Under the new rules, passed by the governing body at its annual general meeting on Thursday, a panel will review footage each Monday looking for cases of simulation.<\/p>\n

Any player unanimously found guilty of diving would be given a suspension.<\/p>\n

The FA also announced it has passed reforms it proposed in March, following criticism over the way it is run.<\/p>\n

How will the new bans work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FA defines the new offence for which players will be punished as “successful deception of a match official”.<\/p>\n

Only incidents that result in a player winning a penalty or lead to an opponent being sent off – through either a direct red card or two yellow cards – will be punished.<\/p>\n

The FA says it will act “where there is clear and overwhelming evidence to suggest a match official has been deceived by an act of simulation, and as a direct result, the offending player’s team has been awarded a penalty and\/or an opposing player has been dismissed”.<\/p>\n

Its panel will consist of one former match official, one ex-manager and one ex-player.<\/p>\n

The announcement follows what the FA said was “a period of consultation with stakeholders over the past few months”.<\/p>\n

The rule change also required approval from the Premier League, the EFL and the Professional Footballers’ Association.<\/p>\n

Speaking in December, Burnley manager Sean Dyche said he thought diving would be eradicated from football “in six months” if retrospective bans were introduced.<\/p>\n

Such bans have been utilised in Scottish football since 2011.<\/p>\n
