Penalty-takers will no longer be allowed to halt at the end of their run-ups to try to fool the goalkeeper.
The International Football Association Board has decided it is "unsporting behaviour" and made it a yellow card offence in time for the World Cup.
"Feinting in the run-up to take a penalty kick to confuse opponents is permitted," said Fifa's Jerome Valcke.
"However, feinting to kick the ball once the player has completed his run-up is now considered an infringement."
If players do feint at the end of their run-up and then score, they will have to take the kick again.
