Yellow and red cards were first introduced in the game by British referee Ken Aston and its first major use was in the 1970 World Cup. The system of cautioning and sending-off existed prior to 1970; however, the use of coloured cards allows referees to convey their intentions directly regardless of the language spoken.

Agree with Jan.. Red card first introduced in the World Cup in Mexico in 1970, But was never used in that competion. We will have to look elsewhere
