Concacaf Punishes Referee for Requesting Messi’s Jersey After Inter Miami’s Win
Concacaf has taken disciplinary action against referee Marco Antonio Ortiz Nava after he was seen approaching Lionel Messi for his jersey following Inter Miami’s Champions Cup victory over Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday night.
After the final whistle, Nava appeared to ask Messi for his shirt, sparking controversy. He later explained that he was actually requesting an autograph for a relative with special needs. However, his actions violated Concacaf’s code of conduct for match officials.
In a statement shared with ESPN, Concacaf confirmed the decision, saying, “The referee’s conduct does not align with the Confederation’s Code of Conduct for match officials and existing processes for these types of requests.”
They also noted that Nava admitted his mistake, apologized, and accepted the punishment. Concacaf has not yet revealed the specific disciplinary measures taken against the referee.

Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
