Fifa new rules no red card after penalty

You're referring to the recent changes to the Laws of the Game introduced by FIFA!

As of the 2020-21 season, FIFA has introduced a new rule that prohibits the issuance of a red card to a player who is involved in a penalty incident. This means that if a player commits a foul that results in a penalty being awarded, they will not receive a red card, but instead, the opposing team will be awarded a penalty kick.

This change is aimed at reducing the number of red cards being issued for minor offenses, such as simulation or diving, and to encourage players to focus on fair play and sportsmanship. The rule change is intended to promote a more positive and respectful atmosphere in the game.

Here are the key points to note:

1. If a player commits a foul that results in a penalty being awarded, they will not receive a red card.
2. The opposing team will be awarded a penalty kick.
3. The player who committed the foul will still be cautioned (yellow card) if the referee deems it necessary.
4. If the player who committed the foul continues to protest or dissent, they may still receive a second yellow card (red card) for unsportsmanlike behavior.

It's worth noting that this rule change only applies to penalty incidents and does not affect the issuance of red cards for other types of fouls, such as serious offenses like violent conduct or spitting.
