A punishment in sports in which a player is sent off the field for a serious rule violation. In football/soccer, this is often indicated by a red card.
example
Nach dem groben Foul erhielt der Verteidiger sofort den Platzverweis.
After the rough foul, the defender was immediately given a sending-off.
Usage tips
Compound word
The word is made up of 'der Platz' (the place/field) and 'der Verweis' (the reprimand/order). A 'Verweis' is an official instruction or punishment. So a Platzverweis is literally an instruction to leave a particular place.
EXAMPLE
Ein Platzverweis ist ein offizieller Befehl, einen Ort zu verlassen.
A Platzverweis is an official order to leave a place.
Typical verbs
An authority (referee, police) 'erteilt' (issues) a Platzverweis (sending-off/exclusion order). The person who has to leave 'bekommt' or 'erhält' (gets/receives) a Platzverweis.
EXAMPLE
Der Schiedsrichter erteilte dem Spieler einen Platzverweis.
The referee issued the player a sending-off.
Dative construction
When the verb 'erteilen' (to issue/grant) is used, the person who receives the Platzverweis (sending-off/exclusion order) is in the dative. The pattern is: someone (nominative) issues something (accusative) to someone (dative).
EXAMPLE
Die Polizei erteilte dem Störer einen Platzverweis.
The police issued the troublemaker an exclusion order.
Context: sports
In a sports context, the 'Platzverweis' (sending-off) is the most severe punishment for a player. In football/soccer, it is often symbolized by the 'Rote Karte' (red card) and pronounced by the 'Schiedsrichter' (referee).
EXAMPLE
Nach der Roten Karte musste der Spieler mit einem Platzverweis das Feld verlassen.
After the red card, the player had to leave the field because of the sending-off.
Context: public order
Outside of sports, a 'Platzverweis' (exclusion order) is an official measure by the 'Polizei' (police). It is used to instruct a person to leave a public place (e.g., a train station, a street).
EXAMPLE
Die laute Gruppe erhielt von der Polizei einen Platzverweis für den Bahnhofsvorplatz.
The loud group received an exclusion order from the police for the station forecourt.

Platzverweis vs Ausschluss
exclusion
'der Ausschluss' and 'der Platzverweis' both have to do with someone not being allowed to stay or continue taking part. 'Ausschluss' is the general term and can apply to many situations, for example a club, an event, or a course. 'Platzverweis' is more specific: in sports, a player has to leave the field, or the police order someone to leave a particular place. A 'Platzverweis' is therefore often a special form of exclusion from a specific area.
Platzverweis
Nach dem groben Foul bekam der Spieler einen Platzverweis.
After the rough foul, the player was sent off.
Ausschluss
Wegen mehrerer Regelverstöße beschließt der Verein den Ausschluss des Mitglieds.
Because of several rule violations, the club decides to exclude the member.
