A yellow card is given for foul play, and a red card is given for being sent off. Even those who are not familiar with soccer rules understand this much.
However, it is a hot topic because there is a referee who suddenly took out a white card, not yellow or red.
A football stadium in Lisbon, Portugal.
While the players are fighting a heated match, the referee suddenly takes out a card.
However, no matter how you look at it, it is a strange white color.
I wonder if the referee made a mistake, but in fact, it is said that it is a card that can be used according to the referee's authority to encourage fair play.
In 2014, Michel Platini, former president of the European Football Federation (UEFA), proposed it, but it was not accepted by the FIFA board of directors.
This is the first time it has actually been written on the pitch.
Fans also cheered and applauded the sport's 'fair play spirit' and enthusiastically responded to the appearance of the white card.
