IFAB is expected to announce new refereeing rules on Friday February 9. Among them is the establishment of a blue card.

If a card of this color is received, the offending player will be excluded from the field for 10 minutes. The device will be applied in the test phase during FA Cup matches, according to the Telegraph. Aleksander Ceferin, the leader of UEFA, firmly opposed the implementation of these rules during an interview given to The Telegraph on January 25, 2024: “It's no longer football. We will not use them in UEFA competitions.”
