Messi's Bodyguard Suspended From Leagues Cup for Pushing Atlas Players
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, AUG 1 – Yassine Cheuko was suspended for entering the pitch and making contact with Atlas players after a match, with the disciplinary committee also fining Inter Miami CF, officials said.
- The Leagues Cup disciplinary committee has banned Lionel Messi's bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, from accessing any technical zones for the rest of the 2025 tournament following an incident at Chase Stadium on July 30.
- The suspension followed Cheuko's unauthorized entry onto the field after the Inter Miami vs. Club Atlas match, where he tried to break up a post-game player discussion and made contact with Atlas members.
- Cheuko previously received a ban from Inter Miami sidelines in April but remained part of the club's security, and Atlas player Matheus Doria called his actions uncalled for during a subsequent press conference.
- Following an incident after the July 30 match between Inter Miami CF and Club Atlas, the disciplinary committee imposed a suspension on the individual involved, barring them from all technical zones for the rest of the Leagues Cup 2025 and levied a confidential fine against Inter Miami CF.
- This disciplinary action highlights the league's enforcement of tournament rules and the club's responsibility in controlling delegation conduct during this high-profile competition between MLS and Liga MX teams.
