Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The Netherlands vs Argentina quarter-final at the 2022 World Cup holds the record for most yellow cards in a single World Cup match, with 18 yellow cards issued. This surpassed the previous record of 16, set by the infamous 'Battle of Nuremberg', Portugal vs Netherlands in the 2006 World Cup Round of 16, which also produced 4 red cards (the most in any single World Cup game).
The 2006 World Cup in Germany holds the record for the most red cards in a single tournament, with 28 players sent off across the competition. This broke the previous record of 22 from the 1998 World Cup in France. The Battle of Nuremberg (Portugal vs Netherlands in 2006) alone accounted for 4 of those red cards.
Rigobert Song (Cameroon) and Zinedine Zidane (France) share the record for the most red cards in World Cup history, with two each. Song was sent off at both the 1994 and 1998 tournaments. Zidane received his second red card in the most dramatic circumstances possible, headbutting Marco Materazzi in extra time of the 2006 World Cup final, his final professional match.
Javier Mascherano holds the record for the most yellow cards in FIFA World Cup history, receiving 7 bookings across four tournaments (2006–2018). The Argentine defensive midfielder was known for his aggressive tackling, tactical fouls, and combative style, helping Argentina reach the 2014 World Cup final while accumulating more cautions than any other player in tournament history.
Yes. twice. Pedro Monzón of Argentina was the first player ever sent off in a World Cup final, dismissed in the 1990 final against West Germany. His teammate Gustavo Dezotti followed him shortly after. Zinedine Zidane was infamously sent off in the 2006 final against Italy after headbutting Marco Materazzi in extra time, arguably the most iconic red card in football history.
At the 2026 World Cup, a player receiving two yellow cards in two separate matches is automatically suspended for the next game. FIFA introduced two amnesty points: yellow cards reset after the group stage and again after the quarter-finals. This means players cannot be suspended for the semi-finals or final solely due to cards accumulated earlier, only cards earned in those specific rounds carry over.
Several players received two yellow cards and were suspended for matches at the 2022 World Cup. Notable bookings included heavy carding in the Netherlands vs Argentina quarter-final (18 yellow cards between both teams). Discipline was a major talking point throughout Qatar 2022, with the tournament producing some of the highest card counts in recent World Cup history across individual matches.
