In the cup match between the women of Benfica and Sporting, referee Caterina Campos drew a white card for the first time in football history.
It is an innovation that has only been introduced in Portugal for the time being. It is not a punishment, like the red and yellow card, but expresses appreciation for an incident with remarkably fair play. In this case, it happened when the caretakers from the two teams worked together to treat a medical emergency in the stands. The intention is to “improve ethical values in sport.”
There should be more white cards drawn!

As we know from psychology: the carrot works far better than the stick.

But there is no incentive. 50 white cards for a team gets them what? It’s like getting a gold star in kindergarten.
