Tiktekno: clip summarizing today's events in sports, 8.2/Sport1
A little more than two months ago, initial reports were published that the football industry is on the way to a huge revolution, which will include the introduction of an "orange card", which will allow a player to be suspended for only 10 minutes, similar to suspensions in several other sports, including handball and rugby, as a punishment for unsportsmanlike offenses or criticism and opposition to team decisions The judgment.
Today (Thursday), according to the British "Telegraph", the IFAB - the body responsible for the game's constitution - will announce at the end of the week together with FIFA the introduction of the new ticket which will eventually be blue. This is the first change regarding the tickets in football matches since the cup World 1970, when the yellow and red cards appeared. It should be noted that a player who receives two blue cards, similarly to two yellow cards, will end his participation in the same game and his team will remain at a numerical disadvantage.

Contrary to the initial report in the Telegraph that the orange card - changed to blue - may star as early as next season in the Premier League, it seems that the experiment will be launched first in the FA Cup.
By the way, the change from orange to blue was made to differentiate it from the yellow and red cards and hence a color was chosen that does not resemble the existing cards.
