The New York Times reported on the 23rd that a pink card will be used for head injury substitutions at the 2024 Copa America, which kicks off next month in the United States. Unlike the yellow card, which represents a warning, and the red card, which signifies dismissal, the pink card is used for player safety.

The report continued, “The technical staff reports a suspected concussion player to the referee. The referee will then pull out a pink card, allowing for a substitution and the player’s removal from the field. Each team can use the pink card once during the game. An additional substitution is added to the existing five substitutions.”

It was also stated that “the substituted player cannot return to the field. The player will be moved to the locker room or the hospital, depending on the situation. To prevent misconduct, the doctor must send a medical report form to the tournament’s medical committee within 24 hours after the game.”

The introduction of the pink card is a commendable and necessary addition. If it is well received at the 2024 Copa America, its use will gradually expand.

Meanwhile, the 2024 Copa America, hosted by the United States, marks the 48th edition of the international football tournament organized by the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL). The game occurs every four years and is set to kick off next month.

The 2024 Copa America was initially scheduled to be held in Ecuador. However, Ecuador suddenly abandoned hosting the event due to safety and security issues. The United States then expressed a strong desire to host, resulting in the tournament being held in the U.S.
