2018 FIFA World Cup disciplinary record
In the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which took place in Russia from 14 June to 15 July 2018, the main disciplinary actions taken against players came in the form of red and yellow cards.
A player sanctioned with a red card was sent off from the pitch and could not be replaced. Furthermore, the player was automatically banned from his team's next match. After a straight red card, FIFA conducted a hearing and considered extending this ban beyond one match. If the ban extended beyond the end of the World Cup finals (for example, a player was sent off in his team's last match), it had to be served in the team's next competitive international match(es).
A player also received a one match ban if he picked up a single yellow card in two different games from the beginning of the group stage until the end of the quarter-finals, where single yellow cards were negated.[1] However, such a ban did not carry over beyond the World Cup finals if the second yellow card was collected in his team's last match.[2]
