There might be no blue playing cards proven in soccer, FIFA president Gianni Infantino stated Saturday forward of the annual assembly of the sport’s rule-making panel.
The guidelines panel identified as IFAB is due to have a look at extending trials of “sin bins” at low-stage video games. But past that, the concept aired one month in the past of including blue playing cards to referees’ pockets with their pink and yellow to take away gamers from the area for a number of minutes has been scrapped.
“Let me be clear — it’s a red card to the idea of ‘blue’ cards,” Infantino informed reporters in a video clip posted in a single day on his Instagram account. “There will not be any blue cards used at elite level.”
“This is a topic that is non-existent for us and FIFA is completely opposed to blue cards,” Infantino stated at a lakeside lodge that may host the assembly close to Glasgow.
Sin bins had been launched in grassroots soccer in the 2019-20 season to attempt to cut back dissent and improve truthful play.
The concept has been unpopular with English Premier League coaches who imagine groups will use defensive and detrimental ways if a participant is eliminated for 10 minutes.
However, the new suggestion of utilizing blue playing cards to ship gamers to sin bins was met with widespread derision.
The IFAB panel is made up of officers from FIFA and the 4 British soccer federations. FIFA has 4 votes and the federations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales every has one. Six votes are wanted for a proposal to move.
Sin bins are utilized in rugby for a range of fouls.
Ice hockey equally whistles penalties that ship gamers to the “penalty box.” Infractions such as tripping are two-minute penalties that give the different staff a bonus referred to as the “power play” that creates extra purpose-scoring alternatives.
