That’s according to The Telegraph, who claim the International Football Association Board has agreed to the introduction of the new card.

If implemented at the top level, the introduction of blue cards will be the first major disciplinary change since the introduction of yellow and red cards back in 1970.

Players will face TEN-MINUTE stints in the sin bin if they are guilty of committing a cynical foul or if they show dissent towards the referee, linesman or fourth official.

So the days of players stopping promising attacks or counters with shirt pulls or other deliberate fouls could soon come to an end.

Blues cards have already successfully been trialled at the grassroots level in Wales, with their introduction resulting in a reduction of tactical fouls and dissent.

The colour was reportedly chosen over orange over fears there could be confusion between yellow and red cards.

IFAB will announce the revolutionary rule change on Friday, although it won’t be implemented at the top level straight away.

Elite competitions will be “excluded” from the initial testing phase due to the possibility of teething problems.

Trials at the top level, however, could get underway this summer.

SunSport understands it could be incorporated into FA competitions including the Trophy and Vase, but will NOT be introduced into the FA Cup.

Neither Euro 2024 nor next season’s Champions League will include sin bins after protestations from Uefa chief, Aleksander Ceferin.

When pressed for his thoughts on blue cards and sin bins, he told The Telegraph last month: “It’s not football anymore.”

Uefa, however, could be forced to implement the disciplinary protocol if the trials are successful.

The approval of the blue card and sin bin trials is the second Rugby Union measure to have been approved by IFAB.

Back in February, they approved plans to only allow captains to speak to officials and question their decisions.
