However, UEFA's disciplinary committee may additionally penalise players for offences unpunished by the referee.
This means that no player will be suspended for final unless he gets sent off in semi-final or he is serving a longer suspension for an earlier incident.
[2] Yellow cards and any related suspensions earned in the Euro 1996 qualifiers are neither counted nor enforced in the final tournament.
The disciplinary committee is also charged with reviewing any incidents that were missed by the officials and can award administrative red cards and suspensions accordingly.
For example, if a player is booked but not sent off for a dangerous tackle, the disciplinary committee cannot subsequently deem the challenge to be violent conduct and then upgrade the card to a red.
However, if the same player then spits at the opponent but is still not sent off, then the referee's report would be unlikely to mention this automatic red card offence.
Unlike the rules in many domestic competitions, there is no particular category of red card offence that automatically results in a multi-game suspension.
