Three-times capped goalkeeper Sosha Makani has been suspended for six months for wearing what has been described as Spongebob Squarepants trousers.
The 29-year-old who plays for Persepolis in the Iran Pro League has been charged with "innapropriate conduct" according to the ISNA news agency.

Before a game, Makani was pictured donning the adventurous leg-wear and was cited for it by the football federation's morality committee.

"SpongeBob [trousers] cause six-month suspension for Sosha," read Astrian news outlet.
