Interesting new idea - used for the first time in a Benfica women's game this weekend, following a medical emergency in the technical area being dealt with swiftly.
Unlike yellow and red cards, which punish teams for breaking football’s rules, white cards are designed to recognise and praise clubs for fair play.
Part of a new initiative in Portugal, the hope is that a white card encourages ethical values in sport.
On this particular occasion, the white card appears to have been shown in the direction of the medical staff who were quick on the scene to treat to the person in the dugout.
I look forward to their use in Dog and Duck Reserves v Crown and Anchor Reserves in Div.6 of our local Sunday League next month
