Qatar's Madibo given five-match ban for tackle that injured Canada's Kone
- FIFA suspended Qatar midfielder Assim Madibo for five matches following a tackle that broke the leg of Canada midfielder Ismael Kone during their World Cup group-stage match.
- During Canada's 6-0 victory over Qatar in Vancouver last Thursday, Madibo tackled Kone from behind in the 51st minute, resulting in a broken leg requiring surgery.
- Citing serious foul play, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee imposed the ban, which is subject to appeal to the FIFA Appeal Committee.
- Madibo was visibly upset and apologized in person to Kone after the game; Kone later posted on Instagram expressing gratitude for prayers and support.
- This suspension is not the longest in World Cup history; Uruguay striker Luis Suarez received a nine-match ban in 2014, and Italy defender Mauro Tassotti was suspended eight games in 1994.
