Football will introduce blue cards to expel for ten minutes anyone who commits tactical fouls or protests to the referee. This has been decided by the body in charge of developing the rules of the game, the IFAB.

It would be the first time that a new disciplinary card has been introduced since the arrival of the yellow and red cards in the 1970 World Cup. Initially the highest level matches will be excluded from these cards, although the English Federation wants to implement it in the Cup and Women's Cup matches next season.
