All on-field disciplinary matters for the Canadian Premier League (CPL) are overseen by Canada Soccer, pursuant to its Disciplinary Code and Professional Soccer Club Disciplinary Annex.

The following players are facing suspension, which have been determined and issued by Canada Soccer, after the 14th week of play in the 2024 CPL regular season:

• Matteo de Brienne, Atlético Ottawa
  • Reason for suspension: Yellow Card Accumulation
  • Sanction: One-Game Suspension (Sunday, July 21 vs. Valour FC)

• Abdulmalik Owolabi-Belewu, Forge FC
  • Reason for suspension: Yellow Card Accumulation
  • Sanction: One-Game Suspension (Sunday, July 21 at Cavalry FC)

• Dante Campbell, Valour FC
  • Reason for suspension: Yellow Card Accumulation
  • Sanction: One-Game Suspension (Thursday, July 18 at Halifax Wanderers FC)

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:

• Ruben Del Campo, Atlético Ottawa
  • Charge: Misconduct 
  • Details: Following a review of the Match Officials’ report and video footage from the Sunday, July 7 match between Atlético Ottawa and Pacific FC, it is alleged by Canada Soccer’s Incident Review Body that Del Campo was an instigator of a mass confrontation between the two teams. 

• Paul Amedume, Pacific FC 
  • Charge: Misconduct
  • Details: Following a review of the Match Officials’ report and video footage from the Sunday, July 7 match between Atlético Ottawa and Pacific FC, it is alleged by Canada Soccer’s Incident Review Body that Amedume was an instigator of a mass confrontation between the two teams. 

• Vasco Fry, Vancouver FC 
  • Charge: Misconduct
  • Details: Following a review of the Match Officials’ report and video footage from the Friday, July 5 match between Forge FC and Vancouver,  it is alleged by Canada Soccer’s Incident Review Body that Fry did not leave the field immediately and, once he left the field of play, was visible in the player tunnel despite being asked by game day staff to leave.

In addition, the following players are one caution away from a one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation, after the 14th week of CPL play in 2024:

• Aboubacar Sissoko, Atlético Ottawa
• Yann Fillion, Halifax Wanderers FC
• Joshua Heard, Pacific FC
• Sean Young, Pacific FC
• Noah Verhoeven, Valour FC
• Josué Martínez, York United FC
• Austin Ricci, 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.
