Players could be sin-binned for diving at next summer's World Cup finals as part of a clampdown on cheating by Fifa.
Fifa vice-president Jack Warner has confirmed the use of sin bins is one of a raft of proposals under consideration as football's governing body looks to punish and discourage the cheats in South Africa.
A Fifa taskforce will meet in Cape Town in December to discuss the proposals and Warner said: 'The fact is we have to keep the sport entertaining for spectators.
'It cannot be a sport where people simulate and fake. It can't be. That's what this whole thing is about. We have to change that.'
Asked if sin bins could be used to discourage the cheats, Warner told Sky News: 'Most definitely. I'm quite sure.
'For example, a guy fakes an injury, and he acts as if it's the end of the world, and then after you give him the foul he then flies up and kicks the ball.
'That guy should be sent off, and he should be sent off for five minutes.'
