In addition to the yellow and red card, the America's Cup will come with an innovation, such as the pink card, which has been approved and will be applied throughout this edition. The competition, which starts on June 20 in the USA, will come with this innovation, which is of great help to the team. The leaders of this competition have decided to apply it, specifically, the pink card will be used in moments when a football player suffers a head injury or concussion, making it impossible to continue the game.
The team that has the injured player will communicate with the fourth referee, and he with the main referee who will raise the pink card, to make the substitution. In the regulation with 5 substitutions where the number goes to 6 in overtime, along with this innovation, teams have 7 opportunities to replace players, which would be enough for any coach.
At the moment when the team makes the decision to receive the pink card, the opponent is also obliged to make the same move, even if it is not necessary
