That’s what UEFA said. UEFA is the European football association. UEFA organizes the European Championship in Germany. The European Championship starts on June 14th. She goes for a month.
In football, captains are the leaders of a team. The referee blows his whistle if the players violate the rules. Sometimes the players don’t like the referees’ decisions. They then go to him and complain.
This is no longer allowed at the European Championships. If a player still complains, the referee will show him a yellow card. This means: If the player does this again, he is not allowed to continue playing.
