Vancouver, April 30 -- FIFA boosted overall World Cup cash distributions to nearly $900 million following concerns over the spiraling costs for teams taking part in the tournament. FIFA said that money shared between the 48 teams taking part in the finals in Mexico, Canada and the US would now total $871 million, up from an initial figure of $727 million announced in December. The cash injection was announced following a meeting of FIFA's ruling council ahead of the body's Congress taking place in Vancouver on Thursday. The hefty increase comes after several FIFA members reportedly argued that the high cost of travel, tax and overall operations could result in them losing money from taking part in the tournament. FIFA has now moved to alleviate those concerns, hiking an award of $1.5 million for "preparation costs" to $2.5 million for each of the qualified teams. A payment of $9 million for qualifying for the tournament has also been increased to $10 million. FIFA, meanwhile, also confirmed law changes which will be rolled out at the World Cup. From now on, players who cover their mouths during confrontations with opponents will face a red card as part of a new initiative aimed at combating racism. In a separate law change announced on Tuesday to be enforced at the World Cup, FIFA said that red cards would also be introduced for players leaving the field of play in protest at a referee's decision. Jannik Sinner ended the inspired run of teen home favourite Rafael Jodar with a 6-2, 7-6(0) victory at the Madrid Open to complete his set of semi-finals reached at all nine Masters 1000 tournaments. "He pushed me to the limit. He's an incredible player," said Sinner of the rising talent. Meanwhile, American Hailey Baptiste ended Aryna Sabalenka's title defence and halted the world No.1's 15-match winning streak with a 2-6, 6-2, 7-6(6) quarter-final victory to deliver the biggest shock of the event....
