Red Cards

A Red Card can be issued by an umpire after a serious offence during or within 30 minutes of the conclusion of a match.

A Red Card may be issued to any person participating in the match, including players on the pitch, substitutes and team officials (managers, coaches, videographers, physiotherapists and doctors who are part of a team’s squad) whether a formal team sheet has been submitted or not.

The recipient cannot take any further part in the match.  

For most Red Cards an immediate 16-day suspension also comes into effect.

A Red Card may only be issued in respect of an offence or other misconduct committed during a match or within 30 minutes of the conclusion of a match.

To report a Red Card, please use the new Red Card Form.

Please Note: the new red card report form is now in pdf form which can be downloaded to edit.  

Once completed, you should save a copy and send to the relevant Disciplinary Administrator as shown on the reverse of the form.
