Type a football foul in plain words ("handball in box", "tactical foul to break the counter", "indirect free kick signal") and get the IFAB 2025/26 law reference, restart (DFK/IFK/PK), card, referee signal, and a season yellow-card suspension forecast.
Details
A linguistic front-end to the IFAB Laws of the Game 2025/26 (Law 12 + restart signals). Describe a foul or referee gesture in everyday language and the tool scores your phrase against a keyword-indexed rules table, then shows the matching law citation, the restart type (direct free kick, indirect free kick, penalty kick, dropped ball), the careless→reckless→excessive-force sanction ladder or the fixed sanction, and a small diagram of the official referee signal. It also forecasts yellow-card accumulation suspensions for major competitions (Premier League 5/10/15 tiers, La Liga, Serie A, UEFA Champions League, World Cup). Useful for fans, referee students, FIFA/eFootball players, and youth coaches.
