As a rule, a player or team official sent off the field of play and/or its immediate surroundings, including the technical area, is automatically suspended for the next match in the competition. In the event of a serious offence, the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment, including by extending it to other competitions.
In case of repeated cautions:
-
in the qualifying competition, players and team officials are suspended for the next competition match after the second and fourth caution;
-
in the final tournament, players and team officials are suspended for the next competition match after the second caution.
Cautions that have not resulted in a suspension expire on completion of the intermediate round and are not carried forward to the final tournament.
Cautions that have not resulted in a suspension and pending yellow-card suspensions expire on completion of the competition.
