The Football Association in United Arab Emirates has found Ghanaian striker, Asamoah Gyan and 39 other football stars in the country guilty of breaking ethical rules by keeping un-Islamic hair.
It is reported that Islamic teachings ban ‘Qaza’ hairstyles because parts of the head are not shaved.
This ban came after Asamoah Gyan showed off his new mohawk – with ‘3’ shaved into the hair side – during the just concluded African Nations Cup.
According to the BBC, Individual match referees judge whether players' haircuts are appropriate, parents in United Arab Emirates concerned about children copying the styles.

Gyan is one of 46 players who is currently at the warning letter stage.
The former Sunderland striker, is on loan at Dubai-based Arabian Gulf League club Al-Ahli from Shanghai SIPG
