World record in Brazilian youth match: 51 red cards
Published
A youth football match in Brazil has made the news because an unusually large number of red cards were shown. According to the news report, a total of 51 red cards were issued. That would make it a world record in football.
It is not clear how the match exactly unfolded or why the referee sent off so many players. The report also contains little information about the teams, the competition, and the exact date. It is therefore important to note that this is still limited information.
A red card means that a player must leave the field immediately, and as a result a team may have to continue playing with fewer players. In youth football this is especially striking, because the game is mainly intended to let children and young people enjoy themselves and learn to play sports. Football associations often explain that respect for referees and opponents is very important.
For readers in the Netherlands, this is mainly a remarkable sports story from another country. No official confirmation of the record is mentioned in the report. It is advisable to follow new information from reliable sports media or the Brazilian football federation in the coming days.
