FA Bans Liverpool Goalkeeper Rafaela Borggrafe for Six Games Over Discriminatory Language

The sanction concludes a months-long inquiry, leaving her unavailable for this weekend’s cup tie.

Overview

  • Borggrafe will miss Sunday’s Women’s FA Cup fourth-round match against London Bees as the final game of her suspension.
  • She has accepted the punishment, serving five matches already, and has been enrolled in an FA education programme.
  • The FA investigation began in September after Liverpool reported the incident in line with established protocols.
  • Reports indicate the comment was racist and occurred during the club’s pre-season training camp.
  • Manager Gareth Taylor said the process dragged on but welcomed its completion so the squad can move forward.
