⚽ What is the fair play rule at the FIFAWomensWorldCup?
Whichever team has fewer fair play points deducted is given the tiebreaker.
If two teams finish even in fair play points, then lots will be drawn via random selection to determine which team advances.A player who receives a yellow card in two separate matches will also receive a one-game suspension. The card count is carried throughout the group stage and into the knockout round. The count is reset before the semifinals.The fair play rule was used during the 2018 World Cup when Japan and Senegal were tied after three group games. They had the same points , goal differential and goals scored , and the two sides played a 2-2 draw in their head-to-head-match.
The next way for FIFA to determine who would enter the round of 16, was to use the fair play rule. In doing so, Senegal, which had two more yellow cards during group play than Japan did, became the first team to ever be eliminated from a World Cup tournament due to a fair play tiebreaker.
