Football fans across the world will be familiar with yellow and red cards that are brandished by referees.
They were introduced over 50 years ago in the 1970 World Cup for fouls and disruption of the game.
But history was made on Saturday 21st January as the first white card in football was shown by a match official in Portugal.
It was shown during a clash between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica women's teams in the women's Portuguese league cup, in which Benfica won 5-0.
What is a white card?
The card was introduced by Portuguese authorities as part of a new initiative to encourage teams to act in a sporting manner and get immediate positive recognition.
It can be shown to anyone who is involved in fair play and is designed to improve the ethics in the sport.
Why was it shown?
The card was shown just before half-time to medical staff from both sides after they rushed to the aid of a fan who felt unwell in the stands.
As the card was shown to the medical staff, the crowd stood on the their feet to applaud the medics as they walked back to the dugout.          source

As football is one of the most popular games in sports gambling and its updates are very important for gambling. Many times the result of the match changes on the basis of yellow and red cards, so in football  cards showing  is important and also for gambling. The main purpose of opening this topic is to get familiar with white cards.

I haven't seen it before and if I may ask does the white card control only the medics to inform them about a player or fan that needs medical attention or it also have a meaning to the players in a match. Though,this is a good initiative by the Portuguese to him taken their time to come up with such idea but it is FIFA that will determine if this card will be introduced to international football or not. To me it looks funny since yellow card and red card must be used in a game to caution the players fr rough attacks and to limit injuries or to discipline players or coach that are arrogant on the pitch.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

From what I've read from source, I think the introduction of the white card by the Portuguese authorities is a good initiative and one that might not take a lot of time before its adopted into international football.
We have yellow and red card which are used to warn or ban players from the match, it makes sense to introduce another card which can be used to applaud players that play very well, and the white card could be perfect for that purpose, so indeed, it's a good idea the Portuguese authorities have shown to the world, I hope FIFA adopts this in no distance time.

The color of peace being used is really good. As said the white card being used to applaud the good act is really impressive and a much needed one. Once after a red card the player won't be able to play one match in the tournament. Same as that something credits for holding more white card makes the new rule even more impressive.

Interesting new adoption.I think that it will be used rarely in a true men game as men are different than women,they can get pretty aggressive,just go and watch some youtube videos with soccer games from South America and some African leagues,you will see a lot of UFC fighting more than they are playing football and it get pretty messy in those leagues,sometimes even the referee is assaulted by hooligans,fans of those teams so I think it would not be that much of use or even if it will be it is going to be just for show but not for real,that is why FIFA has not implemented it yet and it doesn't look like they will do soon.

[bitcampaign]

but has this white card been used also by the big football leagues or other cup events, I don't know about this information but glad you shared it all
in this thread so i learned a lot, as far as i know only red and yellow cards during watching football

As this is the first time a white card has been used in a club-based game in Portugal. Benifica Vs Sporting women's football match Referee Catarina has used a white card for the first time. At first it was not clear why the white card was shown, but after the white card was shown, two medical officers were seen proceeding to provide treatment. It is known that during the match, if any player becomes unfit i.e. sick, then a white card is arranged for immediate medical treatment. A card like this had never been shown in the past, so this first showing of a white card created a new dimension in the world of football.
The importance of this card is that if a player's physical condition deteriorates, the white card is used to signify that it is a special and very important part of a sport.

[iv4n]

Well, I don't see the real purpose of this "white card"... but it's me. I mean, what's the point? Do you get a white card and big applause? Maybe I am missing something?

I had fun reading the comments, there are some good ones:

A white card to promote fair play..
How about we dont give money to crying fake injured soccer players that act like babies on the field. The sport is a joke.

Is this really something we can expect in the future:

If the white card is good. What will the sure to follow black card mean?

[pakhitheboss]

Football is loved through the world because of its agression. I am not against the white card but I am not sure whether the white card will bring any benefits to the game. Above all this card was shown in a women football match, they are way less agressive if you consider men's football. I do not think the referee would be able to use the white card when men are playing the game.

[Silence Scream]

In Platini's statement in 2014, the White Card was actually spoken with the aim of taking the football player out of the field for 5-10 minutes.  However, the Portuguese Football federation developed it as a reward mechanism.  In the mentioned match, the medical team was “awarded” with a white card.  We can see this as an important positive development for Fair Play.  I think it can be an application that will add color to football, I hope we will see it more often.

[coinerer]

I have never seen a white card given in a football game before. This is the first time I saw such an incident.  I don't know if I have complete knowledge about the game of football  However, as much knowledge as there is, this matter is not known. I think this white card means something special in Portugal.  I need to study more on this topic to be clear about it. Being clear about it seems like I will gain some new knowledge in the game of football.

[Rruchi man]

This is a new developments in the world of football, a white card? wow!

Quick question, We all know that a player is suspended from some games as a penalty if they booked by the Referee with a yellow card a number of times;

-Five yellows accumulated before match week 19 results in a one-match ban.
-Ten yellows accumulated by week 32 will result in a two-match ban.
-Fifteen yellows by week 38 means a three-match ban.
-Twenty yellows in a season can result in the Regulatory Commission punishing the player in a manner that they deem to be most fitting.

For Red Cards;

a red card means instant dismissal. When it comes to the length of any suspension period, it is dependent on the nature and seriousness of the foul, as follows:

-For a sending off, after a second yellow in one game, the suspension period is one match.
-For a so-called professional foul, a player will also receive a one-match ban.
-If the foul in question is dissent, it will normally be a two-match ban.
-If we are talking about violent conduct, the punishment is normally a three-match ban.

What will happen when a player is shown the white card many time in one game or season?

[letteredhub]

Normally cards are tools use to regulate football games to keep in check, making sure players play according to standard rules as laid down which any tackles and behavior deviation of that attracts either the yellow or red card depending on the gravity of your offense.
As the yellow and red cards are for reprimanding it's also good to have a card that applaud good act too on the pitch as this will encourage good character amongst players and management as the white cards shows that one's good act is publicly recognized.
It's a nice development into football!!

[Wexnident]

So, uh, it's a public recognition card in other words? I won't deny that it's a good thing, but in the general scheme of things for a match, I don't think it has that much of an effect compared to a red/yellow card. And idk if making people feel good for doing what they're supposed to do is a necessity. Definitely, a good thing since it'd probably boost their feelings or something similar, but idk, it just paints itself in a bad way of sorts in my view.

Additionally, is this even used in players? The example uses it on a "medical staff" so I'm not sure. Cause if it is, then it'd be pretty hard to measure what "public recognition" per match would be, if it was just MVP's or an MVP play then it'd be a lot easier, but then again they'd have to reward that AFTER the game, so giving out a white card in the middle of the game doesn't seem like it'd pose that much of a use.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Well, I don't see the real purpose of this "white card"... but it's me. I mean, what's the point? Do you get a white card and big applause? Maybe I am missing something?

I think exactly the same thing, although I'm not surprised given the current era of goodism in which we live. If it has no more implications than a round of applause or the referee saying that you are practicing fair play, I don't see much sense in it. But maybe I'm wrong and this type of 'moralistic' cards will be generalized in the future.

[nimogsm]

A good way to draw attention to women's football and a very competent PR move.I am not sure that the innovation will be applied in the men's leagues there are currently enough and two cards and the rules will not be changed.If a white card also appears in the main leagues, it will be interesting because the card will not greatly affect the rules we are familiar with.

[Daltonik]

It seems to me that the condition of the fans who came to the match and thereby trusted their teams with their money is really worth paying attention to, and when everything that happens outside the playing field does not interest anyone, then this is also not right and the fans deserve attention.

[Erumo]

They should add "LGBT colored" card in football. Show player this card, and he would never behave bad on the field. This will act like a warning card, that shows what punished player should expect to get in a locker room if he did not stop fouling or playing aggressively towards other team members. I am convinced that such card will have a quick effect.

[Yogee]

....

What will happen when a player is shown the white card many time in one game or season?

Applause and some sort of recognition or maybe respect. You get more of that when you get more white cards hehe. I wish there is an actual reward but it's basically useless and it will not affect how the game is decided unlike the yellow and red. Players will still continue with how they play on the field using their dirty tricks or dives just to get an advantage for their team.

Are you serious? In my opinion LGBT propaganda is very common nowadays and it seriously annoys people who only accept traditional sexual relationships.

The white card in soccer is an interesting initiative, but LGBT propaganda in soccer is unnecessary. I don't mind sex minorities doing things in their own homes that interest them, but when they promote their orientation to children it's too much.  

[Accardo]

I think the white card is meant for the FIFA workers; the health department, paparazzi or even to the quiet players in the bench. But, I don't understand one thing, will the whistle be blown and playing paused before the white card is awarded to a player, that's if, when, given to a player. That would be boring to viewers since nobody is injured or tackled roughly. The white card will unviel more use cases to viewers as other leagues starts using the card.

I think to answer your question in my view, the player with a highest amount of white card awarded to him could be given the man of the match.  

[piebeyb]

I just saw a thread discussing this white card in the previous forum, no one discussed this, it's important for me and my friends here to know information to add insight also in football and thank you for explaining in detail what a white card is.

Nope, not serious. But imagine effect it might have. You cut other players, play rough, even got a yellow card. The ref understand that giving you red card does not make an effect, you'll just leave. But instead you get warned with LGBT card, and a special team of "punishers" waves to you. This is not a direct LGBT propaganda, but a call to play clean. Or face consequences.

White card - "a new initiative to encourage teams to act in a sporting manner". Why sports manner should be rewarded with a card, when sports manner, good manner or discipline should be an automatic action.

It's just not clear why what should be by default should be obtained through reward (card). Next what ? Being polite will be rewarded will lead to only after receiving a reward someone will be polite?

I may not that of a football fanatic but seeing this may just open more questions too like "what other colors may add up?", "what about black?", just an observation. I think it's a good addition to make players become have encouragement on every plays but seldomly there should be rules on when white card should be raised, it shouldn't be on every good act be raised, there should be some specifications.

Wow, this is such a nice gesture. White defines positivity and it makes sense to show this card for the act of kindness.
Although the white card doesn't impact any gameplay but it shows how good one can really be.
But do you think it would really be added to the football standards ?

It clearly states why this white card is given. And if you go to the source link and study then you will understand the matter better.

It is true that very few people know about this because it is not commonly seen. So it is unknown to many and I didn't even know about it.  I understood by studying from here.  Thanks to op for sharing this. This was an instructive post

[YOSHIE]

The main purpose of opening this topic is to get familiar with white cards.

I saw this for the first time when the referee issued a white card in the Sporting vs. Benfica in Portugal, the white card that was issued by the referee became a sharp spotlight for the public which sign is what, only what we know in general in the world of football most yellow and red cards are issued with reasons for violations and so on.

If the goal issued a yellow card for

'increasing ethical values ​​in sport'.
And
A white card is shown as an acknowledgment of the referee for the good and sportsmanlike behavior of players and club officials during the game. But at the moment the card is only used in Portugal.

Maybe, it's a good move, but from several sources that I read and saw, only Portugal used the white card, hopefully the white card will be a positive reference for fans and the world of football in general going forward.

[pixie85]

I can already hear the black Americans saying "so they've introduced a "racist" card to award something good and there's no black card." I bet that when they add it it's going to be a penalty. White -good -black - bad!

White card should be the surrender card. You show the white card to the team that sucks and should give up because the match is a waste of time

They should add "LGBT colored" card in football. Show player this card, and he would never behave bad on the field. This will act like a warning card, that shows what punished player should expect to get in a locker room if he did not stop fouling or playing aggressively towards other team members. I am convinced that such card will have a quick effect.

I'd prefer an RGB coloured card. LGBT is not really a color scheme

[DaNNy001]

Wow!  This is something new. I have never come across a referee issuing out a white card before in a match and never knew such existed, its good to add and learn about this recent updates in football (soccer). But from your thread, i noticed the reason for this white is rewarding a particular player or in this case the medical staff for an act of fair play which is somehow the reserve theory of the yellow and red card which is issued out as a sanction for a foul committed in the game. This update is really nice, since fifa have been trying their best in promoting the act of fair play in the of soccer so it will nice seeing this more often in top league match.

To be honest I'm not against the idea like this, especially if it's for the sake of football itself. however, I have not been able to understand the essence of this white card. I don't see anything interesting, especially the urgency of the policy made by the Portuguese football authorities. or maybe, in the link that Op shared, it doesn't explain in detail what this white card is functional for. IMO, two cards are enough, yellow and red.

Interestingly, this idea is the result of an initiative to encourage the team to act in a sportsmanlike manner and immediately get positive recognition. then, what is the essence of it. To be honest, I haven't gotten the essence of this white card and what impact it has on the world of football. I doubt this idea will be widely adopted by authorities outside of Portuguese football. most likely, this idea will not work for other European leagues.

[bitbollo]

FIFA is trying everything to clean their reputation after many scandals and probably this is part of this mission

it would be really nice once gambling sites will offered betting related "white card" of course just kidding I don't think this will happens also I don't know how much often we will see this "white card" (pretty useless stuff )

[Zackgeno96]

Seems pretty pointless to use such white cards in a match. As if a player cares about that. A subsequent violation will still follow. A football player has not been warned by a white card, sometimes not even by a yellow card. We should only stick to yellow and red cards, that has always been the case in football and it does not seem logical to me to suddenly implement that in 2023. Outside of us, all kinds of scientists must have thought about this for a long time? Nice to get the scoop for some viewing figures, but of course you can't take a white card seriously in football matches.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I think you are mistaken mate, FIFA has not introduced white card to their games, we all here are only hoping they would adopt the idea of the white card into their matches in the near future..

For now, it is the Portuguese authorities that introduced the white card during a clash between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica women's teams in the women's Portuguese league cup - according to the op, read the OP and understand so you don't assume wrongly anymore.

Well, you got that right. After more reading, I stumbled upon the term "Virtue Signal":

An attempt to show other people that you are a good person, for example by expressing opinions that will be acceptable to them, especially on social media:
Virtue signaling is the popular modern habit of indicating that one has virtue merely by expressing disgust or favor for certain political ideas or cultural happenings.

Looks like something opposite from "cancel culture" (another new expression in my vocabulary from recently), but I don't like that movement at all (it's a bit ridiculous what they are doing), so this doesn't sound "too clever" either in my opinion.

I certainly don't hope for this to happen... it will either have some influence on the game or not. I don't see any special meaning in the way it's shown now, and it certainly doesn't affect the game in any way.

Really? You want this to happen? I thought most people in this thread were making fun of the white card. I expect the next country to adopt the white card will be France since they were so attached to the white flag
I find it to be a dumb idea. They're introducing a special gratitude card for fair play, which is something that should come naturally. What's next? A trofy for a team that doesn't foul? Let's start giving diplomas for people who behave good and haven't stolen or beaten anybody in 20 years. Let's make it a citizen of the year award...

[Obari]

Thank you @OP for bringing this to our attention but does the white card have any implications?
Because from your explanation and illustration, the card signifies a job well done right?.
I'm sure it will take a very long time before it gets incorporated into the football system and even if it does, it will take some time before we begin adapting to it over here in my country.
I hope it doesn't get abused but I really don't also see any need for this card because I think it will cause unnecessary whiling away of valuable football time.

According what I read online the white card has nothing to do with the players themselves it is only met to be use for the medical staffs. So since it has nothing to do with players I don't see how it's going to be abused. To you it might not have any use but to them it has, you don't expect the referee to start giving red or yellow card to medical staffs who are performing their duties to me this cuts out well it's perfect in this scenario.

And by the way Op this is some nice info this is the first time I'm seeing anything like this, all I know of is the red card and the yellow card never have I seen a white card before. Although I got to read about it after coming across this thread but it would be better when I finally get to see it been displayed on a live match.

[FatFork]

Well... I think the introduction of a white card in football seems rather pointless. It's unclear what purpose it serves. Is it supposed to promote good sportsmanship? If so, I would argue that there are already plenty of ways for officials to enforce fair play and good behavior on the field or court. The idea of a white card just seems like an unnecessary and confusing addition to the already established rules and regulations of the game.

And judging by the reactions I've seen on social media, it appears that I'm not alone in this sentiment.

[Strongkored]

This is something that is very new and implemented for the first time in a football match in Portugal so it's natural that you or many of others don't know about it and I myself don't see this as an important thing to implement in football and if it were implemented would it have a positive impact in every football match? this is still a question.

Yes I noticed it and understood about why white cards are given in football games. But it was first seen in Portugal giving a white card which gave everyone a new surprise as most people didn't know about it and never seen a white card before. But it is not used anywhere else except Portugal. I think there are many rules in football game which are unknown to us

[Kakmakr]

The white card is essentially the opposite of yellow and red cards, it is used to show recognition of fair play. I think it would be nice if they add a white card point to the ranking points.. which will come into play when teams have a draw. In a draw, a team will get the edge over the other team, if they received more white cards than their opponent. (That will reward good behavior and good sportsmanship)

Currently, there are no benefits... so players will not really go out of their way to receive a white flag. This will just turn out to be a gimmick and people will ignore it.  

[TopTort777]

I know that a lot of people will disagree with me, but football is not a very exciting kind of sports. A lot of those 90+ minutes, football players walk or run very slowly. Dangerous situation or scoring chances does not happen all the time. I could say that most of game time bigger part of both teams are rather passive. For being passive in combat sports you get a warning and score deduction. That is why I am glad that white cards entered football. Something new was really badly needed. Something innovative is always good. That is the engine for progression.

[madnessteat]

Nope, not serious. But imagine effect it might have. You cut other players, play rough, even got a yellow card. The ref understand that giving you red card does not make an effect, you'll just leave. But instead you get warned with LGBT card, and a special team of "punishers" waves to you. This is not a direct LGBT propaganda, but a call to play clean. Or face consequences.

White card - "a new initiative to encourage teams to act in a sporting manner". Why sports manner should be rewarded with a card, when sports manner, good manner or discipline should be an automatic action.

It's just not clear why what should be by default should be obtained through reward (card). Next what ? Being polite will be rewarded will lead to only after receiving a reward someone will be polite?

In my opinion, a white card is only an indication of decent behavior by a player or team during a game. Opposing behavior results in a red card and removal from the field. I don't think the white card trend will be universally adopted, but in my opinion it is an interesting innovation that may encourage players to play more honestly and behave with dignity.

I know that a lot of people will disagree with me, but football is not a very exciting kind of sports. A lot of those 90+ minutes, football players walk or run very slowly. Dangerous situation or scoring chances does not happen all the time. I could say that most of game time bigger part of both teams are rather passive. For being passive in combat sports you get a warning and score deduction. That is why I am glad that white cards entered football. Something new was really badly needed. Something innovative is always good. That is the engine for progression.

But in reality what happens is football is the sport that is most interested in and enjoyed by everyone from small children to the elderly.
Indeed, when we watch a soccer match it seems so passive because each player also occupies their respective position so they cannot run around chasing the ball. Regarding white cards in football matches, I don't agree because there are no violations just because they are passive in playing and in my opinion white cards are not a good new innovation.

I agree that football games aren't that exciting. The "fair play card," or white card, rewards outstanding sportsmanship on the field. Fresh air and required creativity. The white card creates an environment where everyone plays by the rules and respects each other and the game. I hope this creative concept encourages similar efforts in other nations and leagues. I support this football public relations plan to attract new fans and players. This is good for sports overall

[Slow death]

I don't see any reason to add a white card since on the soccer field the referee has a whistle, there is another way to communicate with other assistant referees, there is VAR, there are police and doctors, there are several people who each take care of their own task in the field, but if they put unnecessary things like white card it will confuse many people

For example, when I watch soccer and hear the referee's whistle, it immediately comes to my mind that something serious or serious has happened and when he takes a card out of his pocket, I'm already thinking that it's going to be shit, but if they put a white card it means that my heart is already there will be no peace, because every time the referee blows the whistle and puts his hand in his pocket I'll be thinking what the hell he's going to take out if it's a yellow or white card

[panganib999]

Since this is a pretty novel rule addition in the Football's long list of already very strict rule. It's a breath of fresh air that incentivizes good behavior within the field. For now, the medical staff that took care of that unwell fan got it, I would like to see how this sits well when an athlete gets it someday, as of this moment we don't even know what the white card really does, it just shows that the umpire kind of recognized the good behavior, or at least if someone already knows what it does within the field then please inform me.

[tsaroz]

You don't need card to do good things or behave well. It should be the virtue of every sportsmen.  You don't need this card in football. I hope it never leaves the boundary of portugal and would never be recognized by FIFA. I do admit that VAR is a necessary evil for football, people don't want anything else that's not completely necessary and could take away the game time or distract from the game action.

I guess the benefits of this white card is just not that realized because of how recent this has been added, but once the football federation or whatever the heck's supposed to preside these games finally figure out what they want this white card to do, we'd probably see better benefit and usage of it over time. I think it is important even only as a symbol because Soccer is a game that thrives in penalties. Look how overreacting some athletes are just for the enemy to score a yellow or a red card. The white card, once established may become a breath of fresh air in this otherwise negative sport and we may as well see athletes work more for that white card rather than act all sissy just to gain an advantage over the opposing team.

[FatFork]

The white card is essentially the opposite of yellow and red cards...

I used to think that not getting cards, like red or yellow, was the opposite of getting them. I guess I was wrong.

Currently, there are no benefits... so players will not really go out of their way to receive a white flag.

A white flag? Like when the ref is trying to show a sign of peaceful intention or they're cool with a truce or something? 

[Maestro75]

but has this white card been used also by the big football leagues or other cup events, I don't know about this information but glad you shared it all
in this thread so i learned a lot, as far as i know only red and yellow cards during watching football

FIFA would have okayed it. And for it to be used in that game, it means games arranged by FIFA will embrace it. But the question here will be what is the benefit for it apart from fans and spectators standing up and giving ovation. What is the financial benefit to those who are issued the white card since it is for something good. If there is none then I do not think it means anything.

[Joca97]

This is the most stupid thing i have ever seen. This dosent effect the match at all and it is really pointless. Does anyone think if your team is losing that if you get a white card that you will care? Ofcourse not so probobly the dumbest thing i have ever seen in this sport.

[alegotardo]

As football is one of the most popular games in sports gambling and its updates are very important for gambling. Many times the result of the match changes on the basis of yellow and red cards, so in football  cards showing  is important and also for gambling. The main purpose of opening this topic is to get familiar with white cards.

The interesting thing is that this card only exists in Portugal, it was created in 2018, so it's not exactly "new". This card does not exist in any other football rules and is not even endorsed by FIFA or Ifab.
I think it could actually be Green, which would be the "opposite" of red, since its intention is to signal an attitude exactly contrary to the fact that generates an expulsion.

The curious fact is that only five years after the introduction of this card in Portugal, it was "presented". Was there nothing in that period that deserved a white card? Or did most referees consider him unimportant and didn't even want to take him to the football field?

Football fans across the world will be familiar with yellow and red cards that are brandished by referees.
They were introduced over 50 years ago in the 1970 World Cup for fouls and disruption of the game.
But history was made on Saturday 21st January as the first white card in football was shown by a match official in Portugal.
It was shown during a clash between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica women's teams in the women's Portuguese league cup, in which Benfica won 5-0.
What is a white card?
The card was introduced by Portuguese authorities as part of a new initiative to encourage teams to act in a sporting manner and get immediate positive recognition.
It can be shown to anyone who is involved in fair play and is designed to improve the ethics in the sport.
Why was it shown?
The card was shown just before half-time to medical staff from both sides after they rushed to the aid of a fan who felt unwell in the stands.
As the card was shown to the medical staff, the crowd stood on the their feet to applaud the medics as they walked back to the dugout.          source

from when I was small to having a wife and children, this was the first time I saw a football referee issue a white card. at first I saw the title of this thread a little guessed whether the referee took the wrong card and it turned out that it was indeed intentional as a sign of intensification when a spectator fell ill.
it seems that this white card has only been used in one portugal country and in a women's football match.
I still have a question on my mind right now, will the white card also apply to the men's football match in Portugal?

[xSkylarx]

I am not fan in football but it is my first time seeing this and  also whats the meaning of this. So basically it was just like continue the game in fair play while there are medics in the crown to help someone right? So it wouldn't interrupt the game ? But this is not worldwide only on Portugal. At first when i saw this i thought it was a meme or someone just edit it but it is real.This is rare and also I wonder if there are still other color of cards that they made or possibly raised while in the game

[Zilon]

You don't need card to do good things or behave well. It should be the virtue of every sportsmen.  You don't need this card in football. I hope it never leaves the boundary of portugal and would never be recognized by FIFA. I do admit that VAR is a necessary evil for football, people don't want anything else that's not completely necessary and could take away the game time or distract from the game action.

We can just think of the card has a way to promote fair play and sportsmanship. When Red card is issued during games it changes the tempo of the match. I just want to believe the White card will do the same in the positive direction. Let's say encourage the team who got the white card to do even better or get the motivation for a comeback in case they were losing. I just want to be positive about the white card to see how it can improve football generally.

[davis196]

Great news. Now we are waiting for the introduction of the green, purple and black cards as well. Or maybe the pink or brown card?
All the changes in football are getting out of control. This is totally unnecessary if you ask me. It makes the game more complicated and it takes away a part of the excitement. This "white card" thing is nonsense. Is there any real benefit of receiving a "white card" in the game?
The referee can say "good job" to a player without having to show him/her a white card.

[xzone]

I agree with you that football is not very exciting. In some matches we don't watch any goals for 90 minutes and it can actually be very boring. We just watch a few passes and end the game.
But how much can a white card change that? I don't think it's very important what's being done. If a match is boring, it is boring, football may need innovation, but what they do is not very different.
Of course, fair play and appreciating those who do a successful job are very important

That is what makes football unique sport. We can see how 22 players kick one ball for 90+ minutes and the game ends with 0:0. Not to mention that not every of those 90+ minutes players run, often they just walk. And people still watch it. Imagine if we see boxers walking in the ring 12 rounds, trying to find a breach in opponents defence. Imho football is boring, because players dont want to risk. They dont want to get injured and loose their million wage job. They are to much cautious during game. White cards should motivate them for more action. If white cards dont motivate them, taking away 1 point in overall table for being passive should work then.

[darewaller]

Well... I think the introduction of a white card in football seems rather pointless. It's unclear what purpose it serves. Is it supposed to promote good sportsmanship? If so, I would argue that there are already plenty of ways for officials to enforce fair play and good behavior on the field or court. The idea of a white card just seems like an unnecessary and confusing addition to the already established rules and regulations of the game.

And judging by the reactions I've seen on social media, it appears that I'm not alone in this sentiment.

The OP already states if what this card do so I wouldn't called it pointless. It just replace the traditional colour. I guess that fine only to see something new in the field of football. It's not the white card itself who promotes good sportsmanship but it's only just an additional tool that is used by the referees but other than that. It is also shown when someone is injured or needs a medical attention as what stated in the OP.

Maybe it also has a different purpose other than this. I think those who complain are not a true fan of this game. They question a thing that they aren't in control of. If that so then they better create their own game, with their own rule.

You are not a fan but have you already saw some football games before? Locally or in the media. If so then you are already aware that a referee can pull out a card but it was a different colour before. I think it was yellow or red (if my memory serves me right), now they change it but its purpose is still the same.

It does interrupts the game for a while only to remind the players that they need to fix how they play and also to give medical attention when someone is hurt, either on the crowd or on the players. For now maybe this was only seen in Portugal or this was the first country who implement it but later on, it can also be seen on other countries.

I actually feel a bit weird about this white card.
Maybe it's because this is the first time I've seen that card appear in football.
If the card is designed to encourage players or teams to act in sportsmanship,
as well as giving an appreciation to all activities that reflect fair play on the field, I really appreciate it.
 
But I'm still questioning how the white card actually works and how efficient it is when used in matches there?.
This was introduced by the Portuguese authorities, and did it have a significant enough impact to improve ethics in football there?.
Does anyone really understand here, please give a more detailed explanation?.

[goldkingcoiner]

The white card, huh? The first thought that came into my mind was this was the new way for forfeiting the match...

Seems like a very strange concept similar to the "everybody is a winner" trophies which are given out to every participant, regardless of their achievements. I am not sure why we need to positively reinforce people during the game itself instead of giving such recognition "trophies" at the end of the game but I guess we can try out the white card for a while and see if the players play better.

I thought so at first,too,when I saw what the score for the match was.And I thought that the referee thus took the team out of the game after a devastating score.In fact, it's not a bad idea if at the end of the match a card was given to a game that showed more respect for the opponent and did not break the rules and would receive some awards according to the amount of cards for the season, it would be a good incentive for players to play honestly.

I was really surprised to see that new white card in football. When I first read about it I thought that maybe the referee was colourblind and someone made a bad joke. But this seems to be a new trend now to make football more about fair play and sportmanship than about big rivalries. Not sure if we really needed a white card, even though this might give some new opportunities to bet on matches and how many white cards we are going to see per season. Many football teams are very hold and have a long history of team where they are friendly which each other, and teams where they have a big rivalry. Losing an important match against your nemesis can increase tensions a lot for the next several matches. So I am wondering now if there is any opportunity to make money with it. Are they maybe some special games where we would expect to see more white cards?

I saw a tweet about this white card on twitter, but I didn't pay much attention to it because I thought it was just a fad for some people to edit the color of the card to white. But after I found out, it turned out that this really existed and was only in the Portuguese Primeira Liga matches. The function of this card, as I have read, is as a referee's acknowledgment of the behavior of players, club officials who are good and sportsmanlike during a match. However, if there are additional other card colors, I think it is impossible because it will only add confusion for most people to interpret the meaning of the card colors.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The initiative is not bad, it is good, but it should be dealt with outside the field, because from the beginning we know that there is a culture regarding this, it is known that Fair Play is always present, if this is established they will start with the blue cards, with orange cards and I think that this can distort all the good content of what soccer means, in small court soccer, there are many cards, and that is something annoying to play with those colors, in my personal perception I never learned the colors of those cards, that's why I prefer field soccer, that's more understandable, if it's for a women's soccer game they can do that, but for world soccer I see it as redundant.

[seoincorporation]

I was reading more about this White Card, and the main question I have in mind is:

Do we really need them?

I mean, it doesn't make any difference, is only like a clap for the fair game, but I don't feel like we need them. And what I don't have clear is if that white card is a local thing for Portugal, or if FIFA will adopt it a make it a global thing.

Another thing that I don't like at all, is the referee giving cards to a non-player, for me feels like nonsense.

I do not think that the white card initiative will reach the level of world championships. Most likely this initiative will remain only in Portugal.

I have heard proposals to introduce not only the white card in soccer, but also others, but in my opinion only the red and yellow cards belong to the game, and the others are redundancy, which does not make much sense.

In some cases, a white card can help the referee control play and ensure that play is fair and fair. there are also different views on the need for a white card in a soccer game. Some argue that white cards make the game too tight and limit players' freedom to play in their own style.
Others argue that white cards are essential to ensure that the game is fair and safe for all players. white cards are still needed in football games to help the referee control the game and ensure that acts that break the rules are penalized. However, the level of need for a white card in each game can vary depending on the situation and the preference of the referee.

Another thing that I don't like at all, is the referee giving cards to a non-player, for me feels like nonsense.

According to soccer rules, non-players must obey the same rules as players and be responsible for their actions. Therefore, dealing cards to non-players is part of the effort to ensure that games are fair and respect the rules. If you feel that this is nonsense, then it may differ from your view. However, it is part of the official rules in the game of football and must be respected by all parties.

Well I hope that's the case, I don't see that in the UCL they are using white cards, we are used to it from the beginning of World Cup history, they have always been red and yellow cards, I don't know, but since now everything is changing and They want to put everything in other ways and you have it and you think they are going to impose it, although that is very common in other types of football, in 5-a-side football, 7-a-side football, which is on smaller pitches, that there are blue cards, but now It is another regulation, I hope and aspire that in football FIFA does not start to invent, because it would be something not very accepted.

Today, I would agree with your statement, but only because the white card as it stands today doesn't have anything good going for it, it doesn't dictate games, does not impact the performance of teams on the field or whatever. I can see them improving upon the concept and maybe playing around the rules a little bit to offer more incentives into getting a white card, but that could come a long way. Still, I think it is a great initiative in a game that is mostly defined by negativities. A little positive outcome could mean so much especially if it's given the weight it deserves. For now, it's useless but it doesn't mean it should outrightly be removed. It doesn't disrupt games anyway, so until the officials find out a way to make use of this white card, I think it's great if they keep it.

Discourse on the use of white cards more widely has been rolled out, especially after the introduction of extra time at each half of the game. but as far as I know, there is no certainty that this white card will be widely used in football matches in other countries.  although, do not rule out this card will be used widely. but it seems that the idea of ​​a white card was not enthusiastically responded to by football fans, including FiFA.

I have nothing against this idea.moreover, the white card has been introduced in the Portuguese league. however, I don't see any benefits and a big impact on the development of the world of football itself. so I agree with what you said, that the white card initiative will only apply in the Portuguese League.

Like we normally say that one thing that is constant in life is change, the world is advancing and I believe you know that, it is expected that every thing should advance with it, including football, I believe FIFA themselves know what they need and what they don't need to improve the quality of the world cup matches they organize every 4 years, if introducing the white card will bring any tangible meaning to football, then they are likely to introduce it and I believe many are going to accept it that way.
But for me personally, I still don't see the need for the white card though, too many card will only course confusions, I believe the yellow and red card does their job perfectly.

[Odusko]

This is a welcome development in football at least keeping players motivated by issuing them positive cards during play to encourage them and also applaud players for exceptional behaviour during the game which will go a long way to have a positive impact on players' mentality but what I like to know is if there are rewards attached to the white cards for the players.
Because when a player receives a red or yellow card the penalties for then and in some cases payment of fines, so Portugal's authorities have considered rewarding players that receive a white card it will be a big welcome development in football and I hope FIFA will consider including a white card in the world football federating law.

I do not think that the white card initiative will reach the level of world championships. Most likely this initiative will remain only in Portugal.

I have heard proposals to introduce not only the white card in soccer, but also others, but in my opinion only the red and yellow cards belong to the game, and the others are redundancy, which does not make much sense.

Discourse on the use of white cards more widely has been rolled out, especially after the introduction of extra time at each half of the game. but as far as I know, there is no certainty that this white card will be widely used in football matches in other countries.  although, do not rule out this card will be used widely. but it seems that the idea of ​​a white card was not enthusiastically responded to by football fans, including FiFA.

I have nothing against this idea.moreover, the white card has been introduced in the Portuguese league. however, I don't see any benefits and a big impact on the development of the world of football itself. so I agree with what you said, that the white card initiative will only apply in the Portuguese League.

This is the first time I've seen the white card thing, and I also think it won't really get much of a response. But I don't see anything bad in this rather doing it will improve the game in terms of injury and health awareness of the players. Although currently it is played without the use of any cards if a player is injured while playing. And I also think that the showing of this card will not make any difference to the performance of the football game, that is to say it will not play such a significant role in changing the outcome of the match as the red and yellow cards.

OP: from the point/idea of gambling there is not much to say, only that the variance increases for this type of bets, it is just that.

Now for the game itself, I actually think football is going through a number of changes of late that should seriously eliminate cards, really! there is have to remind a player of fair play, seriously, why?

In fact, the VAR system should end the cards. player who is not playing fair, the VAR, sends them to the dressing rooms, anything else, in the same way, think about it, the cards are an archaic system, old obsolete, right!?

VAR is the future of football, to avoid errors with cards, it hasn't happened yet, but it is what will come.

I would rather consider we had option to remove former yellow cards in football. I understand importance of white card in gambling, its just another betting opportunity. But white card should be more than just clapping players in match. Its obviously good encouraging move but if it is gonna enter rule books it should probably permit players to remove their former yellow cards.
On the other hand, players shown white card should all be advertised.

I think yellow card are already removed, along with the red cards and this white card must be their new replacement but to me, I think it doesn't matter if whatever color they choose. The rules in a football game are still the same anyway so it doesn't give that much impact on the game but I do not get it, why you say it's another betting opportunity ? No bro this doesn't increase your winning chance in betting on football matches and football matches/games are already included in most sports betting sites even before.

White cards aren't only being presented for nothing but they do have a special purpose and those are already mentioned in the OP. No need to advertised this because the public will still see it on every football matches that they will watch.

I quite not understand what you guys mean by saying "yellow card are already removed, along with the red cards and this white card must be their new replacement", , because one thing you need to understand is that change is constant in life, and as such, for the fact that red and yellow cards was introduced 50yrs ago, introducing "white card" now is quite not a bad option, as a medium to encourage fair play amongst opponent on a football match, which I'm sure with time more league will tend to adopt using it.

However, since red and yellow cards are shown for foul and rough play during a football match, having this white card as a medium to encourage a player who plays fair is a very good development

Note: White card is shown to anyone who is involved in fair play and is designed to improve the ethics in the sport.
