Doha [Qatar], April 8: The Qatar Football Association's Disciplinary Committee has reprimanded Al Wakrah by suspending their player Redouane Berkane for one more match - in addition to the match he has already served, and fined him QR5,000 following a protest from Qatar SC .
The committee, chaired by Hassan Al Hammadi, also fined Al Wakrah QR10,000 and the result of their Week 20 match was ruled 3-0 in Qatar SC's favour as per the rules of Disciplinary Regulations for 2025-2026 season.
A statement explained that this decision was made after reviewing the protest submitted by Qatar SC on April 5 after Berkane played the match for Al Wakrah against them on April 3. Berkane was supposed to serve a two-match suspension after being sent off for violent conduct during their Week 18 match against Al Shamal.
"It should be noted that Al Wakrah did not comply with the aforementioned article and the player did not serve the minimum suspension, as the club only suspended him for one match," it stated.
"Furthermore, in accordance with Article (55/1/a) of Disciplinary Regulations for 2025-2026 season, the player in question was listed despite being ineligible to participate in the match."
