“I’m very happy to be back in Scotland for the 138th annual general meeting of the International Football Association Board, the organization that sets the laws of the game. It’s a fantastic place, a beautiful country – a football country – and I can’t see the It’s time for the meeting on Saturday morning.” Thus on Instagram the president of FIFA Gianni Infantino, who underlined: “Ahead of the match, let’s be clear: it’s a red card to the idea of ’blue’ cards. There will be no blue cards used at elite level. This is a non-existent topic for us, and FIFA is completely against blue cards.” During the meeting the IFAB should express its opinion regarding, among other things, the proposal to introduce the blue card, i.e. timed expulsions in the event of a tactical foul or repeated protests.
“Moreover – concluded the head of world football – since we care about the health of the players, we will not introduce temporary substitutes for concussion. Concussion is an important topic for us: we have invested a lot of money, so we have experience in this area that we didn’t have before we had. Doctors say that it is simply impossible in a few minutes to determine whether there was a concussion and whether the concussion is serious or not. That is why, in case of a suspected concussion, the player must be replaced. If you want to worry about the player’s health, then the player must exit and another player must enter. End of story.”
