FIFA SAID ON Friday it issues guidance to TV producers that cameras should not linger on close-up shots of spectators at the World Cup to avoid any “suggestions of sexual connotations”.
Football’s world governing body sent AFP a statement about its policy, which it says it distributed to the suppliers of its TV feed before the tournament.
It follows questions over the broadcast of images of female fans at matches during the tournament in Russia.
There are just two more games left at the World Cup — Saturday’s third-place playoff between England and Belgium and Sunday’s France v Croatia final.
“We prefer that the coverage avoids exaggerated or extended duration close-ups that could lead to suggestions of sexual connotations or gender bias,” a Fifa spokesman said.

Saturday, you clown. If you’re going to troll, try to get the basics right.
Did you know you can personalise your feed to hide articles about sports you aren’t really concerned with and stick to what you know? That might save you some upset.
You can’t, however, filter out the trolls.
I’m up at 7am waiting for the Murray server clock to publish the morning read. You Sir should be walking your greyhound.
3rd rugby article and it not even 8 am yet…look it Sunday is a meaningless match playing for nothing but pride, let’s focus on our national games which take centre stage today
You should set up your own app with your own agenda Christy. Good lad.
As its our National Day its a day of pride so whats the difference between pride today and pride on Saturday ?
Enjoy yer Paddy’s day lads…if you want to personalise and insult someone over their opinion, fair play to ye
Christy it’s people like you who hold the GAA back in the dark ages and not letting it progress to a modern game
Ah now Christy. You’re allowed your opinion and everyone else is allowed an opinion on your opinion and so on. That’s the beauty of it.
If you don’t want your opinion to be scrutinised then don’t put it out there. Or better still, set up your own forum as suggested below.
That being said, Happy Paddys Day!
