The Swedish warning system will be changed to 2022

It was at the Swedish Football Association's annual representative meeting that the new rule change was voted through.

At present, a player is suspended after three yellow cards, regardless of when during the season the player has been warned.

But until next season, a player will be able to get rid of a yellow card, as long as the player has not been warned in ten rounds.

- The spirit is not that a player who gets three yellow cards in 28 rounds is an ugly player.

Then we tried to find a model that means that fewer such players will be suspended in the end.

The clubs want to have their best players and the audience wants to see the best players, says Svante Samuelsson, Swedish elite football's sports director, to Fotbollskanalen.

Players will only be able to get rid of a yellow card at one point during the season.

The rule applies regardless of whether the player started, jumped in or did not even come into play during the ten rounds.

The rule change applies to the damallsvenskan and the elite on the women's side, and to the allsvenskan and the superettan on the men's side.
