FIFA will proactively monitor the social media accounts of all players at the World Cup and report any abusive messages.
Football's governing body is making the move, along with players' union Fifpro, with the aim of "protecting both players and their fans from online abuse during the tournament".
All players at the World Cup will have access to a dedicated monitoring, reporting and moderation service to help minimise visibility of hate speech aimed at them.
Abusive, discriminatory and threatening messages will be reported to the social media platforms and police.
The FIFA World Cup will start from Monday.
