How many red cards at Euro 2020 and how long is suspension time?
EURO 2020 is in full swing with teams now in the quarter finals.
And players will need to watch their discipline if they want to help make it into the latter stages of the tournament.
This was the case in Euro 2016 when only three players received a red card.
And now SIX players have seen a red card at Euro 2020, with three rounds still remaining.
How many red cards have there been at Euro 2020?
There has been six red cards at Euro 2020 so far.
- Grzegorz Krychowiak - POLAND vs Slovakia
- Ethan Ampadu - WALES vs Italy
- Harry Wilson - WALES vs Denmark
- Matthijs de Ligt - HOLLAND vs Czech Republic
- Marcus Danielson - SWEDEN vs Ukraine
- Remo Freuler - SWITZERLAND vs Spain
Interestingly, the first two red cards were handed out by the same referee - Ovidiu Hategan of Romania.
Wales are the most ill-disciplined team at the tournament so far.
Bizarrely the Dutch have had four red cards in the history of the Euros, all of them to the Czech Republic or Czechoslovakia.
What is the suspension?
Well, according to the Regulations of the Uefa European Football Championship , a player who is sent off the pitch is suspended for the next game.
And red card suspensions that cannot be served during the competition can be carried forward to the FIFA World Cup.
But the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body is also permitted to increase the punishment, and that can be extended to other competitions.
