Yellow and red warnings are first used in this sport beginning from the World Cup at 1970. Since then these two were constantly given, and 53 years later a new colour has emerged.
During the female game from 21 January between Benfica and Sporting on a surprise of many in the stadium at the forty fourth minute spectators saw a white card. Because one of the substitute players felt weakness, a joined medical stuff from both teams has intervened and treat her, and after that referee have shown this strange colour card to both benches.
And thus the symbol number three has been born (issued) for the first time in football. Recently the world football organization has introduced this fair-play card to promote sportsmanship, by presenting ethical values where until now is extremely very rare in this sport.
