The International Football Association Board's proposal for 'blue cards' has been brushed aside by FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
Infantino added that he didn’t know about the idea before it caught the public eye.
The proposal to bring in 'blue cards', which gives referees the power to send players off for 10 minutes for dissent or committing cynical fouls, was part of the discussions with FIFA at the IFAB's Annual General Meeting in Scotland.
"There will not be any blue cards used at elite level. This is a topic that is non-existent for us," Infantino told reporters on Friday, arriving at the IFAB's meeting at Loch Lomond in Scotland.
"FIFA is completely opposed to blue cards. I was not aware of this topic - as the president of FIFA. I think FIFA has a say in IFAB. If you want a title, 'it is red card to the blue card.'
"We are always open to look at ideas and proposals. But once you look at it, you also have to protect the essence and tradition of the game. There is no blue card."
Blue cards have been utilised this season during a sin-bin trial in grassroots football in Wales, with the colour chosen to clearly distinguish it from a yellow or red card.
The introduction of new cards already occurred on a smaller scale on the continent, with Portugal recently implementing a new measure to acknowledge good sportsmanship.
FIFA referees' chief Pierluigi Collina backed the idea of sin bins, saying: "The idea is to start working on this as soon as possible to provide those who would be involved in the trial a protocol to be used. The idea is to get it soon.
"The trial was very successful in grassroots competitions. Now we are talking of a higher level, very probably professional or even high professional football.”
