New e yellow card

You're referring to the new yellow card system in football (soccer)!

In 2018, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) introduced a new system for yellow and red cards, aimed at reducing the number of yellow cards given for minor offenses. Here's a brief overview:

Yellow Card:

• A yellow card is still given for misconduct, such as unsportsmanlike behavior, dissent, or delaying the game.
• However, the new system allows referees to give a "caution" instead of a yellow card for minor offenses, such as:
  • Minor fouls that don't warrant a yellow card.
  • Unsportsmanlike behavior that doesn't rise to the level of a yellow card.
  • Dissent that's not aggressive or threatening.
• A caution is not shown to the player, but the referee will still record the incident in the match report.

Red Card:

• A red card is still given for serious offenses, such as:
  • Violent conduct.
  • Spitting at an opponent or any other person.
  • Denying a goal-scoring opportunity.
  • Receiving a second yellow card (i.e., a player who has already received a yellow card and commits another offense).
• The new system aims to reduce the number of red cards given for minor offenses, allowing players to continue playing without being sent off for minor mistakes.

The goal of the new system is to promote fair play, reduce the number of yellow cards, and minimize the impact of red cards on the game.
