A second offence will lead to an automatic minimum ban of 10 games in measures agreed at the FA's annual general meeting on Thursday.

Clubs can also be charged if two or more of their employees are sanctioned for discriminatory abuse in any 12-month period. The punishments will apply to other types of discrimination including religion and sexuality.
