Major League Soccer has banned former player Yaw Yeboah for life. The ban is for breaking the league's rules about betting on soccer matches.

The league stated that an investigation found Yeboah violated their gambling policy. This policy forbids players from betting on league games.

Derrick Jones, another former player, also received a lifetime ban for the same reason. Both players were placed on administrative leave in October 2025 during the investigation.

The league's announcement came after a thorough review of the investigation's findings.

MLS partners alerted the league about suspicious betting activity.

This led the league to hire a law firm to look into the matter.

The lifetime bans aim to protect the integrity of the sport.
