Copa America 2024 is all set to take place in June 2024 and all the teams will be travelling to the United States for the tournament. As preparations are underway, CONMEBOL have introduced an all new Pink card apart from the already existing Red and Yellow cards that match referees carry. What is this pink card and what is its significance during the Copa America 2024 tournament?
What Is The Pink Card?
The pink card has been introduced by CONMEBOL for the 2024 Copa America in addition to the already existing red and yellow cards. The pink card has been introduced as a ground breaking revelation in player safety and will be used in case of a head concussion or injury. The referee will pull out the pink card whenever there is a suspected head injury or concussion. By using this rule teams can opt for a sixth substitute. In accordance to rule, the head coach will have to inform the match officials about the concussion or injury and then the referee will show the pink card. Upon the showing of the pink card, the team will be allowed to substitute on a player who will be a concussion substitute. In order to maintain fairness in the game, the opposition will also be allowed an extra substitution.
CONMEBOL Statement On The Pink Card
A statement from CONMEBOL said: “The CONMEBOL Directorate of Competitions and Operations announced that, to the five changes per team authorized by the regulations, a potential sixth will be added to take care of the health of the footballers. This is an extra substitution in the event of suspected head trauma and concussion. To do so, the main referee or the fourth referee must be informed and a pink card will be used.”
