The UEFA Champions League has approved a new amendment to the suspension regulations related to the accumulation of yellow cards, in a move aimed at reducing significant absences during the tournament stages.


According to Mundo Deportivo, the threshold for suspending a player due to accumulated yellow cards has been raised, with suspensions now occurring after four yellow cards instead of the previous system of three.


This amendment grants players a larger margin before facing suspension, which could alleviate clubs' losses of key players, especially during the knockout and decisive stages of the competition.


The decision is expected to give coaching staff greater flexibility in managing their players, while reducing the impact of accumulated yellow cards on team line-ups during the European competition journey.


This change is part of a series of organizational adjustments aimed at developing the competition and achieving a greater balance between discipline and the continued participation of top stars from European clubs.
