After Cristiano Ronaldo’s call for lifetime bans to be issued to those Al Taawoun fans who were filmed chanting the name of the late Diogo Jota to taunt Al Hilal midfielder Rúben Neves, the Saudi Pro League have dished out a different set of punishments.
Rather than individual penalties, all Al Taawoun fans have been banned from attending the club’s next two home fixtures while the club have been fined 100,000 riyals ($26,660). It was judged that there had been a breach of article 51.2 in the SAFF Disciplinary Code.
