Fifpro, the players' union, has formed a partnership with the world governing body to identify people who target players with abusive social media posts.
The semi-finals and final of Euro 2020 and the Africa Cup of Nations were tracked by a report.
Over half of the players received abuse.
Black players who missed penalties were the most abused, according to the report.
The players who received the most abuse during the Euro 2020 final were the ones who missed their penalties, according to a report.
"Our duty is to protect football, and that starts with the players who bring so much joy and happiness to all of us," said Infantino.
A percentage of posts on social media channels directed toward players, coaches, match officials and the teams themselves is not acceptable. Discrimination has no place in football.
Most of the abuse came from the home countries of the players, according to the report.
Most of the abuse remained online, according to the report.
According to the report, most of the accounts flagged as having published abusive comments have a high chance of being identified.
Fifpro and Fifa will launch a dedicated moderation service that will look for hate speech on social media.
The goal is to prevent the comment from being seen by the recipients.
Fifpro president David Aganzo said "Online abuse is a societal issue and as an industry we cannot accept that this new form of abuse and discrimination affects so many people."
Football's responsibility to protect the players and other affected groups is recognised by this collaboration.
