Where can a player serving a game suspension be during the match?

A player serving a game suspension must remain in the team area but is not permitted to wear their uniform. This rule is in place to ensure that the player does not participate in any capacity that could influence the game. Being in the team area allows the suspended player to support their teammates, but being in uniform would imply they are still part of the active roster, which is against suspension regulations.

Options that suggest various levels of inappropriate presence, such as being on the bench in uniform, in the stands with spectators, or on the field as a spectator, violate the rule that requires suspended players to maintain a certain distance from gameplay and not present themselves as part of the team in any official capacity. Therefore, remaining in the team area without uniform adheres to the spirit of the suspension while allowing some form of support for the team.
