As a rule, a player or a team official sent off from the field of play and/or its immediate surrounds, including the technical area, is automatically suspended for the next match in the competition.

Cautions that have not resulted in a suspension and pending yellow-card suspensions expire on completion of the league phase. They are not carried forward to the play-outs or to the finals.

Cautions and pending yellow-card suspensions from the play-outs and the finals expire at the end of the competition.
