Guardians of football's Laws of the Game, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), will discuss various possible amendments to the Laws.

The International F.A. Board (IFAB), composed of representatives from the football associations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as FIFA, will be discussing various possible amendments to the Laws when they gather in Manchester for its 121st Annual General Meeting on Saturday 3 March.

The four British football associations have one vote apiece of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland holding one vote apiece, while FIFA has four votes.

A proposal requires a three-quarter majority (i.e. six of the eight votes) to be approved.

The agenda for this year's IFAB AGM includes FIFA's proposed revision of Law 4 to prohibit players from displaying political, religious or personal statements on their equipment and thus allow such transgressions to be handled by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.

A further submission from the world governing body proposes that a yellow card be shown to any player who covers his or her face with a mask while celebrating a goal.

Among the items for discussion and decision in section IV of the agenda are goal-line technology, with three separate projects submitted for consideration, and the sanctions to be imposed on any player who intentionally strikes an opponent with an elbow.

The IFAB will also address the issues of pitch-side TV monitors and video evidence.

The 2005 Under-17 World Championship in Peru tested a ball with a microchip inserted, but the IFAB meeting will focus on camera-based technology.
