Every senior player in the English football leagues will receive guidance on racist and homophobic language.
The Professional Footballers’ Association is organising the sessions and the union has written to the managers of all 92 clubs asking them to make sure the players attend.
It comes after two high-profile cases during the last two seasons, when Chelsea’s John Terry and Liverpool’s Luis Suarez both received bans for racial abuse.
New FA sanctions carry a minimum five-match ban for a first offence of racist or homophobic abuse.
