Panaji:  All India Football Federation (AIFF) Disciplinary banned Mumbai City FC's Hugo Boumous for an additional two-match ban and imposed a fine of Rs 2 Lakhs . He is banned for 'gross serious disciplinary unsporting acts and misdemeanours' in their ISL game against FC Goa, played on February 8 at the GMC Stadium Bambolim.

AIFF found Boumous guilty of 'insulting and defaming match officials.' The player received his fourth caution of the season before a direct red card during the game's injury time. After facing suspension for two games, his ban will now stretch to four matches.

Boumous will miss Mumbai City FC's remaining games in the league phase. He will be eligible for selection again in the playoffs. The club has already entered semi-final berth. Meanwhile, the Committee also delivered their verdict on two separate cases. FC Goa's Edu Bedia was acquitted of charges relating to 'unsporting behaviour' towards Chennaiyin FC player Deepak Tangri.

The sports body was satisfied with the player's response and all other evidence presented during a hearing with Bedia. The FC Goa captain has already served a 1-game suspension owing to accumulated cautions.
