England considers introducing punishment for diving

The Football Association (FA) is looking at introducing retrospective bans to English football for players who dive or feign injury, BBC reported.

Unlike in Scotland, where players are handed a two-match suspension if they are found to have given their team an advantage by simulation, players in England cannot be punished after a game has finished.

In England, players are currently only given retrospective bans for incidents of violent conduct.
