Former Watford midfielder Pierre Dwomoh has been banned for 11 matches. The ban is due to racist abuse of a teammate.

What happened?

Dwomoh abused the Under-21 player of Indian heritage on two separate occasions. The incidents occurred during pre-match warm-ups ahead of games against Swansea City and Colchester United.

Why it matters for Watford

The club supports the decision made against Dwomoh. Watford FC is currently 16th in Championship with 57 points, 14W-15D-17L from 46 games, and a recent form of LLLLL.

What comes next?

Dwomoh revealed he had left the club in April. The FA requested the ban be increased to 16 matches but that was dismissed. Watford's next fixture is vs Boreham Wood on July 11, 2026. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 16th in Championship | | Points | 57 | | Recent form | LLLLL | | Next fixture | vs Boreham Wood on July 11, 2026
