Football Players In The UAE Could Face Massive Fines For Having Dodgy Hair Styles
Ahdaaf, a football website centred on the Middle East, tweeted that 46 players in the Arabian Gulf League are liable for having “unethical hair”.
In the disciplinary code of the UAEFA, having “unusual hairstyles and cuts or hair color” isn’t allowed and is a transgression that can result in a fine of AED3,000 as well as a ban on two matches.

Asamoah Gyan is one of many players that is in violation of this code
Similarly, last year Waleed Abdullah (player for Al Shabab), had to get a haircut mid-game due to the same reasons
Player Omar Abdulrahman is exempt from this rule
UAEFA Disciplinary Committee deem that Omar Abdulrahman’s haircut does not fit the new criteria for ethical haircuts in the #AGLeague. pic.twitter.com/giURsG1xxI
