In England’s 2-1 victory over Slovakia, English star Jude Bellingham made an indecent gesture, leading to a UEFA investigation and potential suspension.
Similar incidents have resulted in bans in the past, most notably Cristiano Ronaldo’s suspension in the Saudi League after making a similar gesture towards fans. In 2019, Ronaldo reciprocated an indecent gesture made by Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone, both avoiding a ban but incurring a €20,000 fine.
UEFA released a statement regarding the matter: “UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspectors will investigate a disciplinary case against England Football Association player Jude Bellingham, for alleged violation of basic rules of conduct during the match.” Bellingham is now facing a one-game suspension, potentially missing the match against Switzerland.
