Overview

• Yassine Cheuko is barred from all technical areas through the end of the 2025 Leagues Cup.
• The action responds to his pitch incursion after Inter Miami’s July 30 win over Atlas, which ended with Messi assisting Marcelo Weigandt’s stoppage-time goal.
• He entered that restricted zone without proper credentials to break up a postgame altercation, during which he shoved Atlas defender Jorge San Martín.
• Inter Miami CF was handed an undisclosed fine by the same committee that suspended Cheuko.
• Cheuko had already been banned from MLS sidelines under new security protocols, illustrating the dispute between personalized bodyguard roles and league credentialing rules.
