fifa.com: Regeländerung zur Dreifachbestrafung

  • On the two year trial for the 'triple punishment' Law 12 alteration:
    Gianni Infantino, FIFA President:
    If the goalkeeper or defender in the penalty area genuinely and honestly tries to challenge for the ball then there will not be a red card any more, only a yellow card. For other instances, violent play or pulling or pushing which has nothing to do with getting the ball, there will still be a red card and a penalty. It will come into effect on 1 June, for UEFA EURO 2016 and the Copa America Centenario it will already be in effect.
