The Federation Demands Severe Penalty Against Ivan Toney
The events escalated following the Jeddah Derby after the management of Al-Ittihad Club officially moved to file a complaint against the English striker Ivan Toney, a player for Al-Ahli.
This step came after the celebration by the player following his goal during the match between Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad in the twenty-fifth round of the Saudi Roshan League.
Tony contributed to Al-Ahli's 3-1 victory over their rival Al-Ittihad in the match held at the "Al-Inma" Stadium at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.
The management of the club submitted a complaint to the Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, protesting the way the player celebrated his goal in front of the fans.
Media reports indicated that the club mentioned in its complaint that Tony approached the stands of the Union fans, who constituted a portion of the attendees, and made gestures considered offensive.
The federation demanded the application of the penalties stipulated in Article 1/72 of the disciplinary regulations, which could result in suspending the player for a period of no less than six matches and could extend up to two years.
The Disciplinary Committee is expected to review the complaint submitted by Al-Ittihad Club in the coming days to make an appropriate decision regarding the incident.
The Union currently holds the sixth position in the Saudi Roshan League standings, having accumulated 42 points from 25 matches played so far in the competition.
