Sports betting: player suspended after 252 violations
A player has been suspended by the English Football Association (FA) for breaching betting regulations 252 times. He placed bets on his own matches.
The player in question is Osman Foyo, 21, who plays for AFC Wimbledon. He has been handed a five-month suspension by the FA. In addition to the ban, he must pay a £1,000 fine and faces a further four-month suspended ban, which could be enforced if he reoffends before April 2027. The FA has reiterated that any involvement in betting on one’s own matches is strictly prohibited.
