AFC Wimbledon star Osman Foyo has been banned after admitting to 252 breaches of the FA’s betting rules.
The FA have banned Foyo, 21, for one month, which will be served immediately, and a further four months suspended.
Foyo will not be free to return until November 2 and will miss three League Two matches. He has also been hit with a £1,000 fine.
The Dutch forward was found to have placed the bets on matches between October 2023 and March 2025.
The FA said in a statement, published on Foyo’s 21st birthday, that he had accepted the offence.
‘An independent Regulatory Commission has sanctioned AFC Wimbledon’s Osman Foyo for breaches of The FA’s betting rules,’ it read.
