Long break for kicker
After headbutt – punishment increased to 94 weeks!
The headbutt scandal in Vienna's lower house has not only made waves in Austria. In Germany, Italy and Switzerland, the video from www.fan.at was also clicked hundreds of thousands of times on various social media sites. However, the punishment has now been revised by the WFV - instead of 42 weeks, the kicker is now banned for a whopping 94 weeks!
The video was clicked over 1.5 million times on Instagram, Facebook and Tik Tok - making Kurd Wien's kicker one of Vienna's best-known lower house kickers. But for a completely outrageous action.
Red after a headbutt
Zakaria Alhamad al Frih headbutted referee Stefan Petrik-Hanke in the 54th minute of the match between FC Kurd Wien and Ankerbrot. The result was a red card, the match abandoned and a hefty ban for the kicker. Now, however, the Vienna Football Association has increased the 42-week ban that had already been handed down.
Frih must now serve more than twice as long - 94 weeks. "There was a mistake when the punishment was entered. The WFV penalty committee mistakenly entered 2025 instead of 2026 on the online platform, which meant that this penalty had to be revised," said executive committee member Mario Riemel.
However, Frih will probably not be playing for FC Kurd Wien in 94 weeks. The club suspended the player immediately after his offense.
