Football\u2019s governing body, FIFA, has firmly rejected the idea of implementing blue cards as part of sin bin trials. Blue cards were proposed to see a player sidelined or sent to the “sin bin” for 10 minutes over dissent or cynical fouls. However, the proposal stirred controversy and faced significant opposition within the football community.\u00a0<\/span>Gianni Infantino the president of FIFA<\/span>\u00a0has insisted that plans to include blue cards in sin bin trials in elite-level football have been scrapped.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the blue card concept is not continuing, the sin bin trial is expected to continue – albeit at a lower level than initially planned. The Football Association, part of the International Football Association Board (IFAB), had\u00a0<\/span>expressed interest in conducting trials<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in the men’s and women’s FA Cups before the controversy surrounding blue cards arose. The trial will now require a new signal to replace the blue card – with grassroots football’s yellow card and point to the touchline considered as alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n
