With white cards about to appear, will referees have more power?

Temporary suspensions, already being tested in amateur leagues, could be extended to professional competitions. The International Football Association Board (IFAB) recommended this at its annual meeting in London on November 29.

The proposals arising from this meeting will still have to be considered at the organization's annual general meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, in March 2024. This would be a notable novelty in world football. The IFAB, the body responsible for issuing the laws of football, has recommended testing temporary suspensions in professional football, a move aimed at limiting various misconducts by players.

In the future, will referees be allowed to use other types of cards besides red and yellow cards?

In 2017, the IFAB confirmed the implementation of temporary disqualification measures, aimed at reducing potential tension on the field and improving fair play in amateur, youth, and disability leagues, subject to the approval of each regional and national federation. In France, temporary disqualification, specifically a white card for the offender and a 10-minute suspension, has been in effect since 2018 in amateur leagues.

What would Vietnamese football be like if the rules of world football changed?

Professional football is currently unaffected by this measure, and this could change in the future. Additionally, IFAB board members also supported a proposal, to be tested, that only the team captain should be able to approach the referee in certain match situations. All these proposals will be considered at the next annual general meeting. "When we consider the question of temporary dismissals – and obviously the protocol needs to be developed – we are concerned with misconduct, but also with other reasons, particularly tactical errors. The frustration of fans is immense to see a promising counter-attack ruined by a tactical error. And the question of whether a yellow card is sufficient punishment has led us to wonder whether a white card should also be an option,” said Mark Bullingham, Chief Executive of the English Football Association.

Pierluigi Collina, Chairman of the FIFA Referees Committee and a member of the IFAB Technical Subcommittee, has stated that testing of temporary suspensions in professional football could begin as early as next season, subject to approval by the body's general assembly in March.

The former renowned Italian referee emphasized: "The experiment was concluded among amateur league managers. Now we are talking about a much higher level, a high degree of professionalism. We must develop something that is effective or worthy of top-level football."
