He had hit the football referee in Switzerland, this is the decision for the parent of the football player from Kosovo

The parent of a young Kosovo footballer went viral online after punching a football referee in Switzerland last month.

The parent was angry at the referee after the match that took place in Schoftland, Switzerland, in this team’s match against Villmergen.

According to Swiss media, more precisely “CHMedia”, the incident occurred after the parent in question lost his temper after a foul against his son, reports “Gazeta Express”.

Harsh reactions followed this ugly gesture by the father of the young Villmergen footballer.

And now, the problematic father has been sentenced by the Aargau Football Association to a three-year ban from all stadiums in the Swiss state, until July 3, 2028, to be exact.

Also, his son’s club, Villmergen, has been fined 3,500 Swiss francs.

Of course, it doesn’t end here for the football player’s parent, as the case remains a judicial matter and the punishment was only related to the sporting aspect.

He is accused of unauthorized entry onto the field and physical assault on a football referee. /Express newspaper
