21.01 As a rule, a player who is sent off the field of play is suspended for the next

match in a UEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is

entitled to augment this punishment. For serious offences the punishment

can be extended to all UEFA competition categories.

21.02 In case of repeated cautions, a player is suspended for the next competition

match:

a) after two cautions in two different matches during the qualifying phase;

b) from the first match in the first round, after three cautions in three different

matches, as well as following any subsequent odd-numbered caution

(fifth, seventh, ninth, etc.).

21.03 Single yellow cards and pending suspensions are always carried forward

either to the next stage of the competition or to another club competition in

the current season.

21.04 Exceptionally, single cautions from the qualifying phase that have not

resulted in a suspension expire on completion of the qualifying phase in

question.

21.05 Cautions and pending yellow-card suspensions from club competition

matches expire at the end of the season.
