Frankfurt - Fifa said on Sunday it wanted all teams in the 2006 World Cup to supply medical certificates in a bid to prevent a re-occurence of the death of Cameroon midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe exactly two years ago.
"We want to bring in a standard form that all federations which take part in the World Cup must fill out," said Dr Toni Graf-Baumann, a member of the world football governing body`s medical commission.
Fifa also wants the medical certificate to include details of cardiological examinations players have undergone and details of any specific problems.
"In this way we hope to find out if the risks were already known and how they can be managed," Graf-Baumann said.
The announcement comes after the latest death of an active player.
Hugo Cunha,
a28-year-old midfielder for Portuguese first division club Uniao Leiria, collapsed and died during a non-competitive match with friends near Lisbon at the weekend.
Miklos Feher, a Hungarian international playing for Benfica in Portugal, died during a match in January last year.
The second semi-final of the Confederations Cup in Hannover on Sunday, between Argentina and Mexico, was to be dedicated to Foe, who collapsed and died during a match in this competition in France two years ago.
He was found to have been suffering from a heart defect which Graf-Baumann said would have been spotted in the sort of expert examination Fifa wants players to undergo.
"If he had been examined by a sports cardiologist, the changes in his heart muscles would definitely have been discovered," he said.
