In Israel, an unprecedented decision was made – a 17-year-old football player was disqualified for 99 years after he brutally beat an opponent’s player near the locker room after the match.

According to One portal, the incident occurred after the youth teams played in the third Israeli league. Football player Holon Yermiagu, together with a teammate, attacked an opponent, kicking and punching him numerous times.

The coach of the team, Yaniv Avdar, noted that the fight took place approximately 15 minutes after the final whistle, and both attackers have already been expelled from the club. The representative of the management Itsyk Korkus claimed during the hearings that the conflict was allegedly caused by provocation and threats from the injured football player.

The Israel Football Association imposed the maximum penalty: suspension until November 13, 2124 for participating in a fight and misconduct. In addition, the Holon Yermiaha club was fined 2,500 shekels (about 663 euros) and warned of the possible withdrawal of three points in the event of a repeat incident within a year.
