Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effect of the red card on certain psychological aspects of football players in the Professional League for the year 2020, according to the variables of years of playing in the professional league and age. The researchers employed a descriptive approach to suit the subject of the study, with the sample consisting of 97 players registered with the Jordan Football Association. The results indicated a difference in the averages of the effect of the red card on the psychological aspects of players in the Jordanian Professional Football League (2020) based on age. The differences in anxiety, as a psychological aspect affected by the red card, were specifically noted among younger players (under 22 years) and older players (over 30 years), with significance favoring the younger players. The researchers emphasized the need to focus on the psychological well-being of players. The study provided several recommendations, the most prominent of which include generalizing the results to all stakeholders involved in the development of football, such as coaches and specialists in the sports and academic fields. It also suggested the construction of a comprehensive measure of all psychological and mental skills for players and advocated for the collaboration of a psychologist with the coach to develop comprehensive training plans aimed at enhancing the training and performance skills of the players.
