"Soccer Trials Blue Card System for 10-Minute Sin Bins"
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) is set to approve the introduction of blue cards as a representation of a 10-minute sin-bin offense in soccer, with England's FA volunteering to trial the rule change in the 2024-25 FA Cup and Women's FA Cup. The blue card would be issued for cynical fouls or dissent, and two blue cards in a match would result in a red card for a player. The sin-bin trial aims to penalize more serious offenses than a yellow card but less severe than a red card, with the goal of reducing dissent on the field.
