MLS bans Luis Suarez from 3 league matches

MLS announced the disciplinary actions taken following the events following the 2025 League Cup Final between the Seattle Sounders and Inter Miami. Luis Suarez (Inter Miami) has received a three-match ban from the MLS regular season.

The Inter Miami forward will miss the MLS matches against Charlotte FC on September 13, Seattle Sounders on September 16 and DC United on September 20.

The MLS decision came after the League Cup Disciplinary Committee imposed a six-match League Cup ban on Suarez for his post-final whistle behaviour.

Suarez was thus banned for three MLS matches and six League Cup matches.

After Inter Miami lost 3-0 to the Sounders in the League Cup final, Suarez spat on a member of the opposing team's coaching staff on the pitch.

Suarez was banned for eight matches for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra while playing for Liverpool in 2011. The striker was also banned for three separate biting incidents during his time with Ajax, Liverpool and Uruguay.
