After a yellow card, a red card and even a white card (which is used in cases fair), there is now a new card, pink, which will be used for the first time at the America’s Cup, which will be held in the United States from June 20 to July 14.
In accordance with ESPN Brazil, This card allows you to make an additional substitution, that is, the sixth in the match. The pink card will be used when there are suspected head injuries and concussions in players. If an athlete has to leave the game, this card allows a new player to enter the field.
Still, Conmebol – Copa Libertadores America – were informed that if the concussion replacement was performed at the same time as the normal one, the team would not have an additional stoppage in addition to the three already established. In other words, a fourth stop is only allowed if the substitution is due to a pink card.
After a substitution has been made, the opposing team also makes an additional substitution.
Substituted players will not be able to return to the field and will be taken to the locker room or medical center. Team doctors will be required to complete and submit a form to the Conmebol Medical Committee within 24 hours of the game.
