Conmebol has taken an innovative step by announcing a significant change in the regulations of the 2024 Copa America, to be held in the United States. Starting from this edition, participating teams will have the option to make a sixth substitution in case of suspected head trauma and concussion of a player. This measure, which aims to prioritize the health of footballers, has been well received by the football community.




Key Points Summary:

1. Conmebol introduces regulatory changes in the 2024 Copa America to protect the players' health.

2. Teams will be able to make a sixth substitution in case of suspected head trauma.

3. The competition will take place in the United States with the participation of 16 teams.

The introduction of the possibility of making a sixth substitution in case of concussion will provide greater peace of mind for both players and coaching staff, allowing for a more prompt and effective response to delicate health situations.

Conmebol has emphasized that the main purpose of this modification is to safeguard the health and well-being of footballers, demonstrating a commitment to the physical integrity of athletes on the field.

In the event of suspected concussion, the team must inform the main referee or the fourth official and use a pink card to carry out the substitution, clearly distinguishing it from the other permitted substitutions.

This is an extra substitution and a completely new card that only referees can use. It would be a pink card, which will be used in case of suspected head trauma and concussion.

More innovations for an event full of improvements.

  • In addition to this novelty, there has recently been an approval for an increase in the maximum number of called-up players from 23 to 26, which will provide greater flexibility to teams in managing their squads during the tournament. These regulatory changes reflect Conmebol and FIFA's commitment to the well-being of athletes and the constant pursuit of improvements in the organization of their competitions.

  • Regarding the logistics of substitution in case of suspected head trauma, a clear procedure has been established involving notification to the referee and the use of a pink card to identify the special substitution. This measure, which will be applied independently of the five usual substitutions, ensures a quick and effective response in cases of medical emergency on the field.

 

The 2024 Copa America presents itself as a stage of innovation and care towards footballers, demonstrating that the health and well-being of athletes are at the center of the concerns of the organizing entities. These regulatory changes mark a milestone in the evolution of sports competitions and reinforce the importance of safety and integrity in elite football.

Un colapso del tribalismo fanático ideológico está atacando (y matando) a todo lo que se enfrente a la militancia de izquierda (¿Por qué?)

(Por una cocreación junto Ristretto, con Taylor-Molina-Alonso-Maurizio) Imagine que su cerebro tiene un interruptor tribal. Cuando se activa, su córtex prefrontal —sede del razonamiento— se apaga, y la amígdala —centro del miedo— toma el control. Este mecanismo, descrito por el neurocientífico Marco Iacoboni en "Mirroring People", es el arma secreta del populismo del siglo XXI.

Impacto mundial: ¿por qué acciones y oro marcan máximos históricos en un mundo que teme el alza de tasas? (cuando las malas noticias… son buenas)

(Por Taylor desde Silicon Beach) Los máximos históricos simultáneos de renta variable y oro no reflejan optimismo económico; al contrario: celebran el temor. En los mercados modernos, la probabilidad de recortes de tipos por parte de la Reserva Federal y otros bancos centrales convierte las noticias macroeconómicas negativas en catalizadores alcistas. Paradójicamente hay mucho de positivo en todo esto, y no.
