Referee Catarina Campos used the card during a women's cup clash between Sporting and Benfica.
A women's cup clash between Sporting CP vs Benfica remains the only game in football history to feature a white card.
Back in January, during the semi-final first leg of the Taça da Liga Feminina in Lisbon, referee Catarina Campos made history when she brandished the first-ever white card.leading 3-0 against their cross-city rivals, a woman in the crowd had complained of feeling unwell in the stands. Medical staff from both teams moved quickly to help out and, after seeing their heroic actions, Campos reached for her top pocket.In recognition of their sportsmanship, the official awarded a white card to those involved and was cheered and applauded by the 15,000 fans in attendance at the Estadio da Luz.The white card is designed to show recognition to clubs for acts of fair play and sportsmanship during a match. This, in turn, will try and improve ethical value in the sport.
Its use is an initiative of Portugal's National Plan for Ethics in Sport to influence practice sport with fair play, and the actions have been encouraged by the Portuguese Football Federation in their tournaments.At present, the white card remains confined to Portugal as it is yet to be approved by the International Football Association Board .The medical teams of Benfica and Sporting women's teams received it for assisting a fan who felt unwell in the stands.
