There are three types of cards in handball which are shown by the referee for breaking the rules. A yellow card is a warning to a player for foul play. A red card is a player's removal until the end of the game for violating the rules or unsportsmanlike conduct. The blue card is a particularly rude violation of the Laws of the Game which is noted in the score sheet for further consideration at a meeting of the disciplinary committee. The Blue Card was introduced by the International Federation on July 1,2016.
