Match Suspension
1. A suspension from a match is a ban on taking part in a future match or competi- tion or to attend it in the area immediately surrounding the field of play.
2 The player who has been suspended shall not be included on the players’ list for the match.
3 The suspension is imposed in terms of matches, days or months. Unless other- wise specified, it may not exceed twenty-four (24) matches or two (2) years.
4 If the suspension is to be served in terms of matches, only those matches actu- ally played count towards execution of the suspension. If a match is abandoned, cancelled or finally forfeited, suspension is only considered to have been served if the team to which the suspended player belongs is not responsible for the facts that led to abandonment, cancellation or forfeit of the match.
5 If a suspension is combined with a fine, it is prolonged until the fine has been paid in full.
