Canada Soccer’s Disciplinary Panel is responsible for reviewing disciplinary charges passed through by Canada Soccer’s Incident Review Body, and determining the outcomes of those charges once the accused has responded.
Incidents involving the following players will be subject to a Canada Soccer Disciplinary Panel review:
- Luke Singh, Atlético Ottawa
- Charge: Violent Conduct
- Details: Following a review of the Match Officials’ report and video footage from the Saturday, Oct. 12 match between Forge FC and Atlético Ottawa, it is alleged by Canada Soccer’s Incident Review Body that Luke Singh was involved in an incident of violent conduct.
- Daniel Parra, Forge FC
- Charge: Violent Conduct

Yellow card accumulation for players will be reset at the end of the 2024 CPL Regular Season on Saturday, Oct. 19. Any outstanding suspension incurred for yellow card accumulation at the end of the CPL Regular Season will not need to be served. Instead, a Canada Soccer Disciplinary Panel will impose a financial penalty. The following players are one caution away from a financial penalty for yellow card accumulation, after the 27th week of CPL play in 2024.
- Dani Morer, Atlético Ottawa
- Diego Gutiérrez, Cavalry FC
- Jefferson Alphonse, Halifax Wanderers FC
- Christian Greco-Taylor, Pacific FC
- Moses Dyer, Pacific FC
- Josh Heard, Pacific FC
- Sean Young, Pacific FC
- Roberto Alarcón, Valour FC
- Raphael Ohin, Valour FC
- Rocco Romeo, Vancouver FC
- Elijah Adekugbe, York United FC
- Orlando Botello, York United FC
Per Canada Soccer’s Good Behaviour Incentive, when a player plays in five consecutive league matches, either as a starter or a substitute, without receiving a yellow card or red card or other discipline sanction, the player’s yellow card accumulation total will automatically be reduced by one yellow card.
