Romanian Football Federation introduces black card to stop abusive parents at youth football matches

Romania has introduced a black card for youth football referees that which can be used to permanently stop a match when parents or spectators continue abusive behaviour.

Should the abusive behaviour continue after the match resumes, the referee ends the game permanently and issues the black card.

The black card is not shown to a player but instead, it will be used by the referee when the behaviour of parents or spectators becomes serious enough to prevent the match from continuing.
