All India Football Federation (AIFF) Disciplinary Committee upon reviewing the direct red card incident involving Mumbai City FC midfielder Ahmed Jahouh in Hero ISL Match #2 NEUFC vs MCFC played on November 21 in Bambolim, has cautioned the player with a warning that in event of any repetition of such act, exemplary sanctions might be imposed in accordance with regulatory provisions of the AIFF Disciplinary Code.
The AIFF body deemed Jahouh’s first-half reckless tackle on NorthEast United FC player Khassa Camara, a serious foul play offence, endangering the safety of the opponent on field, after the video footage of the incident was sent for review.
While Jahouh has been let off without any further disciplinary action for the time being, he will serve an automatic 1-game suspension following his sending-off on Saturday.
Jahouh is ineligible for selection in Mumbai City FC’s next game, Hero ISL Match #6 against FC Goa, on Wednesday, November 25 at JL Nehru Stadium, Fatorda.
