Carrying Over Match Suspensions
1. As a general rule, every match suspension (of players and other persons) is carried over from one round to the next in the same competition.
2. Match suspensions in relation to an expulsion pronounced on a player outside of a competition (separate match[es]) or not served during the competition for which they were intended (elimination or the last match in the competition) are carried over as follows:
a) FIFA World Cup™: carried over to the representative team’s subsequent official match;
b) competitions subject to an age limit: carried over to the representative team’s next official match in the same age group. Where the suspension cannot be served in the same age group, it shall be carried over to the next highest age category;
c) FIFA Confederations Cup: carried over to the representative team’s next official match;
d) FIFA Club World Cup: carried over to the club’s next official match;
e) confederation competitions for representative teams: carried over to the representative team’s next official match in a competition organised by FIFA;
