According to the BBC Ghana's captain Gyan who was recently in Gabon for the Africa Cup of Nations with Ghana has been found guilty of keeping 'unethical hairstyle' under United Arab Emirates Football Association Guidelines. The 31 year old along with 40 other players have been found guilty.
Some islamic teachings ban 'Qaza' hairstyles which includes mohawks, because only part of the hair is shaved, leaving other parts unshaven.
The BBC has asked UAEFA for clarification on its guidelines and is awaiting response. In 2012 Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Waleed Abdullah was told to cut his 'unislamic' hair before playing for his clubside Al Shabab, because the Saudi rule bans mohawk cuts.
Gyan is currently on loan at Dubai-based Arabian Gulf league side Al Ahli from Shanghai SIPG.
