The body which decides the laws of football will consider bringing in sin-bins.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB), which is made up of FIFA and the four Home Nation FAs, is setting up advisory panels, which will look at a sin-bin system that is being trialed in amateur leagues in Holland this season.
Players sin-binned in sports like rugby union and rugby league usually have to leave the field for 10 minutes, rather than being sent off completely.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter recently spoke of a time penalty for players who dive or feign injury.
