Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya lost 3-2 to Al-Kahraba after
a last-gasp goal, to drop to second place in the league.
"Ibrahim Bayesh mocked the referee as he was shown a second
yellow card, and after that a red card, as a result (the player)
ran towards the referee and tried to attack him, and he
threatened and insulted the referee," Iraq's federation said in
a statement on Wednesday.
Hammadi Ahmed, a member of the club's administrative board, also
received a two-year ban after he pushed the referee and directed
"harsh and obscene words" to the refereeing staff, the
federation added.
Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya will have to play three home matches without
fans and were ordered to pay a fine of 10 million Iraqi dinars
($7,637.79) after their fans rioted after the game.
The club will also have to pay for repairs to the Al-Shaab
Stadium after it was damaged during the riot.
