FIFA Moves to Overhaul Yellow-Card Rules Ahead of 2026 World Cup

FIFA is set to introduce a major change to its yellow-card suspension rules ahead of the 2026 World Cup. A new amnesty system will wipe all yellow cards after the group stage and, if approved, again after the quarter-finals. This measure aims to reduce the risk of key players being suspended during crucial matches, balancing discipline and fairness in a tournament expanded to 48 teams.
