Canada coach Jesse Marsch received a two-game suspension from Concacaf for his behavior during the team's Nations League match against the United States. Marsch was shown a red card for disputing a referee's decision not to award a penalty to his team, which resulted in a one-game ban that was extended to two games due to his conduct towards the match officials.
Concacaf's Disciplinary Committee cited Marsch's unacceptable behavior and delaying the restart of the match as reasons for the additional suspension. As a result, Marsch will miss Canada's initial two Concacaf Gold Cup fixtures against Honduras and Curaçao. The Committee also cautioned Marsch and the Canadian Soccer Association about potential future sanctions if similar incidents occur.
Marsch had expressed dissatisfaction with officiating prior to the match against the United States and defended his actions, stating that he would repeat them to emphasize his point, despite not intending to be ejected from the game.
