What is the new "Wrong Identity" law that led to a Swiss player's red card against Argentina?
Switzerland's striker, Breel Embolo, became the first player to be sent off following the implementation of FIFA's new "Wrong Identity" rule during the 2026 World Cup. He was self-dismissed in the 72nd minute of the Switzerland vs. Argentina match after receiving a second yellow card for attempting to deceive the referee to earn a free kick, despite the referee initially issuing a card to an Argentine player. The decision was later revised after video review. It is noted that this rule allows referees to correct yellow cards based on video review if it is proven that the foul was committed by another player from the opposing team.
