Pacific FC defender Juan Quintana’s three-match suspension has been upheld after the Canada Soccer Disciplinary Panel rejected the club’s appeal of his recent red card.
Quintana was issued a red card for Violent Conduct in the 76th minute of Pacific’s match against Inter Toronto FC on May 17, 2026. Pacific appealed the decision following the match, submitting a claim of Clearly Excessive Penalty to Canada Soccer, which handles on-field disciplinary matters for the CPL, pursuant to Canada Soccer’s Disciplinary Code and Professional Soccer Club Disciplinary Annex.
The Canada Soccer Disciplinary Panel rejected the club’s appeal following a virtual hearing on Thursday, May 21.
Quintana is required to serve a three-match suspension, one of which was already served on Sunday, May 24 at Cavalry FC. He will miss Pacific’s upcoming Canadian Premier League fixtures against Atlético Ottawa on May 30 and FC Supra du Québec on June 6.
