10 minute ejection from soccer? Possibility of introducing blue cards in addition to red and yellow

If you receive a blue card, you will be kicked out for 10 minutes. The possibility of introducing FIFA and EPL is ruled out.

Could a 10-minute suspension rule be introduced in soccer?

The British BBC reported on the 9th (Korean time), “The International Football Association Board (IFAB) is planning to announce a pilot plan to expand the Blue Card, which grants a 10-minute temporary expulsion.”

In soccer, a red card means sending off, and a yellow card means a warning.

The goal is to introduce a new 10-minute exit rule by introducing a blue card that did not exist before. It is given in case of excessive protest to the referee.

If you receive a blue card, you can return to the game after spending 10 minutes in the technical area. According to reports, just like a yellow card, if you receive two blue cards, you are kicked out. Even if you receive one yellow card and one blue card, you are expelled.

However, it has not been decided when and where it will be introduced. The feasibility of implementation cannot be guaranteed.

According to the BBC, the English professional soccer Premier League (EPL) has announced that it will not participate in such operations.

FIFA also said, “It is premature to introduce the Blue Card in elite soccer. “The reports regarding this are inaccurate,” he said, adding, “If there is a pilot operation, it should be limited to responsible testing starting from lower leagues.”

The England Football Association piloted the Blue Card in youth soccer during the 2018-2019 season. As a result of operating in 31 youth academy leagues, it is said that decision protests decreased by about 38%. 스포츠토토
