The following disciplinary matters will be in effect during the FIFA U-17 World Championship New Zealand 1999:

A single yellow card after the first stage will be cancelled. In other words, any player who is cautioned only once during his team's first three matches will begin the second stage with a clean record.

However, any suspension from matches as a result of two yellow cards received in two different matches or from an instant expulsion will be effective on ensuing games.

Suspensions imposed or other sanctions taken by the Committee due to infringe-ments committed during this U-17 World Championship which have not been entirely served when the competition ends, will be carried forward to the next official competition of the Confederation concerned.

The Disciplinary Committee will consist of Mr Marcel Mathier (Switzerland), Chair-man of the Committee, Mr M.S. Sahu Khan (Fiji), Deputy Chairman, and the members Mr David Collins (Wales) and Mr Horace Burrell (Jamaica).
