Goa Captain Sent Off for Wearing the Wrong Underwear — A Bizarre Incident in the Indian Super League

Football often delivers unexpected moments, but the Indian Super League produced an incident that stunned fans worldwide. Goa captain Iker Guarrochena was sent off by the referee right in the tunnel — before he even stepped onto the pitch.

The reason? Surprisingly, Guarrochena was wearing blue-colored underwear, which did not match the official kit of his team.

According to the referee, tournament regulations require players’ undergarments (such as compression shorts) to be either matching the kit’s color or neutral. Guarrochena argued against the decision, got into a dispute with the referee, and was immediately shown a red card.

However, since the match had not yet begun, Goa was still allowed to start the game with 11 players. The only consequence was that Guarrochena himself could not take part in the match.

The unusual incident quickly spread across social media, with many fans debating whether such strict enforcement of the rule was necessary.
