Famed celebrity chef Salt Bae made headlines over the weekend for his shocking behavior at the World Cup final, where he was pictured grabbing at the gold trophy as players and their families celebrated the win. 

The resulting punishment? Well, nothing from FIFA yet. But the U.S. Open Cup has vowed that the chef, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, won't get the chance to do the same with the U.S. national championship.

"Following a review, FIFA has been establishing how individuals gained undue access to the pitch after the closing ceremony at Lusail stadium on 18 December. The appropriate internal action will be taken," the statement said. 

FIFA told the outlet his appearance and actions on the field were unauthorized and violated its rule that only the World Cup winners and heads of state are allowed to touch the trophy.
