NEW YORK (May 5, 2025) - Following a review by the NWSL Disciplinary Committee, the National Women’s Soccer League has issued additional sanctions to Racing Louisville FC forward Ary Borges resulting from her actions after the final whistle of the club’s match against Portland Thorns FC on April 27.
Following the conclusion of the match, Borges received a red card resulting in an automatic one-match suspension that was served during Racing Louisville FC’s subsequent game against the Washington Spirit on May 2. However, after further review of the altercation, during which Borges was found to have pushed the center official after receiving the red card, the Disciplinary Committee determined that her conduct violated Section 12.4.10, “Major Game Misconduct,” of the League Operations Manual.
As a result, Borges has been issued an additional three-match suspension, increasing her total suspension to four matches.
Borges will serve her three-match suspension over Racing’s next three regular season contests beginning on May 9 and continuing through May 24. Borges will be eligible to return from suspension for Racing’s June 6th match against Utah Royals FC.
The NWSL has a zero tolerance policy regarding abuse of officials and will continue to uphold the integrity of the game and the conduct expected of all players, coaches and club personnel.
