Cody Gakpo could face FA sanction over ‘I Belong to Jesus’ goal celebration

Written by admin

Cody Gakpo may face disciplinary action from the Football Association after revealing a vest with the message “I Belong to Jesus” during his goal celebration.


The Liverpool forward was on target at Anfield against Tottenham Hotspur as the hosts secured the Premier League title.

The incident has drawn attention due to FA regulations that prohibit players from displaying “political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images” during matches.

Gakpo’s celebration could therefore be in breach of the association’s strict guidelines.

Liverpool are yet to comment, but the forward could be handed a fine or formal warning depending on the FA’s review of the incident.
