Disciplinary Committee Suspends Mane and Imposes Fines on Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli, and Al-Ittihad

The Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation announced on Friday evening several disciplinary decisions following the Super Cup matches, the most notable of which is the suspension of Senegalese star Sadio Mane, a player for Al-Nassr, for one match.

The decision to suspend Mane was due to him receiving a direct red card during his team's match against Al-Ittihad, in addition to being required to pay a financial fine of ten thousand riyals, with confirmation that the decision is final and not subject to appeal.

The committee also imposed a financial penalty on Al-Nassr in the amount of ten thousand riyals, due to delays by the team's players in entering the field, which caused a delay in the start of the second half of the match, based on the match observer's report.

The committee also announced a fine of ten thousand riyals for Al-Ahli, after its players delayed their presence in the corridor leading to the field before the start of their match, which led to a delay in the official start whistle according to the observers' reports.

Al-Ittihad was not far from the penalties either, as it was decided to impose a similar fine of ten thousand riyals due to the delay of its players in arriving at the designated corridor before the start of their match, an action that the committee considered an organizational violation warranting punishment.
