Overview

• Jesse Marsch's suspension was increased by CONCACAF's Disciplinary Committee after his red card during Canada's Nations League third-place victory over the U.S. on March 23.
• The committee cited Marsch for unacceptable conduct toward match officials and delaying the match by refusing to leave the field after his ejection.
• Marsch will miss Canada's first two Gold Cup group matches in June against Honduras and Curaçao, with assistant coach Mauro Biello stepping in to lead the team.
• The Canadian Soccer Association has strongly objected to the additional game suspension and is engaging in discussions with CONCACAF over the decision.
• CONCACAF has warned Marsch and the Canadian Soccer Association that further misconduct could result in harsher penalties in the future.
