Next season, European players will have to communicate very carefully with the match referee.

UEFA announced that they have approved a new innovation this summer for their club tournaments - a very limited ability to speak with the match referee.

Before EURO 2024, it was announced that players who try to discuss with the referee during the match will immediately receive a yellow card.

Such right is only left to the team captains.

According to UEFA, this decision has increased public confidence in the referees' decisions, and the referees, if they wish, can fully explain them to the participants of the match.
