These will be used as a midpoint between yellow and red cards.

Furthermore, it is reported that if a player received two blue cards during a match or a combination of yellow and bluehe should receive a red card.
The blue cards They have already been tested in Welsh grassroots football and its introduction has led to a reduction in tactical fouls and disagreements. This color was chosen instead of orange for fear that there could be confusion between the cards.
