Qatar player Assim Madibo was given a five-match ban from the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a> after his tackle on Isma\u00ebl Kon\u00e9 broke the Canadian\u2019s leg during their match.<\/p>\n

Madibo was given a red card for the terrible tackle during the match, but FIFA\u2019s disciplinary committee<\/a> determined that he deserved a serious suspension for the foul play.<\/p>\n

While the decision is subject to appeal, Qatar\u2019s 3-1 loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday afternoon ended their World Cup run in the group stages. Madibo, hit with a red card, was already sidelined for the game.<\/p>\n

Still, Madibo\u2019s five-game suspension would roll over beyond the tournament and into later international play.<\/p>\n

It was something Madibo wasn\u2019t intending to do, though, as he was clearly flustered after recognizing how serious Kon\u00e9\u2019s injury was. As Kon\u00e9 lay in shock at his leg, Madibo had his hands on his head, while Canadian players were running up to him in anger.<\/p>\n

After the game, Madibo went to the Canada locker room to apologize to Kon\u00e9, Canada\u2019s head coach Jesse Marsch told The Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“He was very affected for his injury, never he was intentional,” Qatar managed Julen Lopetegui said after the match. “All of you know Madibo, and was a very clear accident, only to remark this, and to wish him all the best.”<\/p>\n

Madibo and Kon\u00e9, who was in a wheelchair, were pictured embracing, showing there was no ill will despite the horrific injury.<\/p>\n

It was quite the blowout loss for Qatar, as Canada took full advantage of being up one man following the red card. It was a 6-0 finish for the host country, and while it was an exciting victory, there was a wrinkle given Kon\u00e9\u2019s importance to the team.<\/p>\n

Kon\u00e9 underwent successful surgery<\/a> on his broken tibia and fibula in his left leg.<\/p>\n

Canada has since fallen to Switzerland, losing 2-1 in a thriller in Vancouver, which gave the latter the Group B victory. Canada still makes the round of 32 for finishing in second place.<\/p>\n

Now, Canada will travel to Los Angeles to face the runner-up of Group A, which will be determined on Sunday. Group A consists of Mexico<\/a>, South Korea, South Africa and Czechia.<\/p>\n
