India head coach Igor Stimac was on Friday received a two-match ban for his red-card offence following his srgument with match officials during the home side's 1-1 draw against Kuwait in their last group match of the SAFF Championships football.

Besides the ban, Stimac was also fined USD 500 as the SAFF Disciplinary Committee deemed it a fit case for suspending him for more than one match. He was also handed a red card against Pakistan in India's campaign opener on June 21 but in that case the matter was not referred to the SAFF Disciplinary Committee as the offence was deemed 'less serious' and he had to sit out of the subsequent match against Nepal on June 24.
