Sadio Mane banned by Saudi Football Federation

The Saudi Arabian Football Federation’s Disciplinary and Ethics Committee has suspended Al Nassr Senegalese forward Sadio Mane for one match following his red card against Al Ittihad in the Super Cup semifinal.

The ruling, issued under Article 48-1-1 of the Disciplinary and Ethics Regulations, includes an automatic one-match ban and a fine of 10,000 SAR to be paid to the federation’s account.

The committee confirmed that the decision is final and cannot be appealed, in accordance with Article 144 of the regulations.

As a result, Sadio Mane will be unavailable for Saturday’s Saudi Super Cup final in Hong Kong, where Al Nassr will take on Al Ahli. Cristiano Ronaldo’s side booked their place in the final after a 2-1 victory over Al Ittihad in the semifinal where Mane himself scored a goal.
