🚨THE INVENTION OF THE RED & YELLOW CARDS! ⚽️

Traffic light to red & yellow cards 🚦

  • The iconic red and yellow cards were introduced to football by English referee Ken Aston, officially debuting at the 1970 FIFA World Cup. ✅

  • The idea struck Aston while he was stopped at a traffic light, realizing that the colors of a traffic signal could serve as a universal language to communicate warnings and expulsions to players. 🚦

  • The creation of the card system was prompted by a heated 1966 World Cup match between England and Argentina, where confusion arose over which players had been booked. Since then, red and yellow cards have become an indispensable part of football’s discipline. 🌟
