* severe rough play;
* bite or spit on someone;
* violent conduct;
* use offensive, insulting or abusive language or take action;
* receive a second warning with CA in the same game;
* enter the video operating room (VOR). Prevent a goal or a clear scoring opportunity
When a player commits an infraction against an opponent inside his own penalty area that prevents a clear scoring opportunity for the opponent and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender will be cautioned with CA if the infraction was an attempt to touch the ball or to dispute it; in all other circumstances — for example, holding, pulling, pushing, not being able to compete for the ball, etc. — the offending player must be sent off.
When preventing a goal or a clear scoring opportunity from the opposing team by touching the ball with his hand or arm, a player will be sent off regardless of where the infraction occurs (except when it is a goalkeeper inside his own penalty area). A player, sent-off player, substitute or substituted player who enters the field of play without the referee’s authorization and interferes with play or an opponent and prevents a goal or clear scoring opportunity from the opposing team commits an offense punishable by expulsion.
The following circumstances must be considered:
* the distance between the location of the infraction and the goal;
* the direction in which the play developed;
* the probability of maintaining or obtaining possession of the ball;
* the position and number of defenders.

VAR principles
1. Video technology will only be used to correct clear errors and incidents not seen in pre-defined situations that can change the course of the game:
– Goal or no goal;
– Penalty or no penalty;
– Direct red card
– Identification error (the referee warns or sends off the wrong player).
2. The final decision will always be made by the referee.
3. Video Assistant Referees (VARs) are members of the referee and any information provided to the referee by a VAR will be treated in the same way as information received from an assistant referee, additional assistant referee or the fourth official.
4. The referee will always make his decision regardless of the existence of VARs, that is, the referee cannot not make a decision, referring the situation to the VAR. If the referee decides not to stop play due to a possible offence, the decision (to allow play to continue) may be reviewed. On rare occasions the referee may consult the VAR. For example, when asking to identify the player who should be punished.
5. The original decision made by the referee will not be changed unless video review shows that the decision was clearly wrong.
6. Only the referee may initiate a review. The VAR (and other referee members) can only recommend that the referee carry out a review.
7. Whatever the review process, there can be no pressure to review a decision quickly, as accuracy is more important than haste.
8. Players and coaching staff cannot surround the referee, nor attempt to influence his decision, or the review process. The player who uses the ‘review signal’ in an obvious way must be warned (yellow card).
9. The referee should remain ‘visible’ as much as possible during the review process to ensure transparency.
10. If play continues after a reviewable incident, any disciplinary action taken or required during the post-incident period cannot be cancelled, even if the original decision is changed (with the exception of a warning or sending off for stopping a promising attack or a clear chance). goal).
11. There are limits – before the decision and after an incident – to which a review can be made.
12. As far as possible, the VAR protocol aims to comply with the principles and philosophy of the Rules of the Game.
