Nigerian football authorities have fined a first division club in Ibadan around $1,000 (£900) after an official was pictured urinating on the pitch.
The photo, which was taken before Shooting Stars’ home game on Sunday against Akwa United, has gone viral.
The official, Auwal Mohammed, has also been suspended for one year from any activity related to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
In a letter to Shooting Stars from the Interim Management Committee, the governing body of the NPFL, the incident was described as a “disgraceful act” that has brought the game into disrepute.
“You failed to control the actions of your officials which resulted in Mr. Auwal Mohammed urinating on the playing field under the glare of the general public,” he said.
