The Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Football (CAF) has banned the referee from officiating international matches under its auspices, but he will be able to continue officiating in the Mexican league. The incident occurred after the CONCACAF Champions Cup match between Inter Miami and Kansas City, which ended with Messi's team winning 1-0.
