THE FIRST USE OF A GREEN CARD IN A SOCCER GAME (DISCIPLINARY) the green card doesn't usually exist in football but it was used in the CONIFA World Cup (world cup for countries not under FIFA) It was used as a disciplinary action between the yellow card and the red card where the player is shown the green card will have to be substituted off the pitch, that is if the team have not used up their substitutions. If not the player will have to leave the pitch with no one coming on for him, much like the effect of the red card only that he will be available for the next match.
