Pape Omar suspended for 8 matches, may have all salary and bonuses cut

The act of slapping Sanna Khanh Hoa BVN player in the face resulted in FLC Thanh Hoa captain Pape Omar being suspended for 8 matches and fined 30 million VND. Not stopping there, this striker may have all his salary and bonuses cut by his home team during the time of suspension.

In the 33rd minute of the match between Sanna Khanh Hoa BVN and FLC Thanh Hoa, striker Pape Omar of the away team raised his leg high against Nhat Nam. This foul caused him to be given a yellow card by referee Xuan Nguyen. Immediately after that, in an argument with a Sanna Khanh Hoa player, Omar could not control himself and slapped the captain Tran Van Vu of the coastal city team in the face.

This unsportsmanlike action earned the Senegalese striker a second yellow card and was sent off. Before leaving the field, the player also had an uncivilized provocative act towards the audience in the stands of the 19/8 stadium.

These are the reasons why he received a heavy penalty from the VFF Disciplinary Board. Specifically, according to Decision No. 30/QD-LĐBĐVN on disciplining Pape Omar Faye issued by the VFF Disciplinary Board today, this player will be suspended from playing for the next 8 matches with a fine of up to 30 million VND, due to his provocative and uncultured behavior towards the audience.

In addition, Omar also faces another very heavy penalty from his home club, FLC Thanh Hoa. Accordingly, this striker will likely have all his salary and bonuses cut during the period of suspension (lasting about 2 and a half months - equivalent to several hundred million VND).
