UEFA announce new rule for Euro 2024 that only captains can speak to referees
Captains will be the only ones allowed to speak to the referee and discuss a decision during matches at the upcoming European Championship in a bid to facilitate clearer communication, UEFA's managing director of refereeing Roberto Rosetti said.
If any other player is found to approach the referee showing any sign of disrespect or dissent they will be shown a yellow card, Rosetti said.

"Being a referee in the modern game is very difficult," Rosetti said in an open letter on Tuesday.
