[3-match] ban
If this is talking about football (soccer), "giornata" refers to one week's round of matches in the league (cf. "Spieltag" in the German Bundesliga).
If a player is disqualified for "3 giornate", this is what would be referred to in UK as receiving a "3-match ban". It is also possible to talk of a "3-match suspension", but this is far less common.

: The bundesliga has been totally irrelevant since 1966. And was irrelevant anyway. // Have you no sense of humour?

"giornata", lacking in English, equivalent German term "Spieltag" // Not when it comes to the Bundesliga... My team is currently poised for relegation! :-( // Humour returning slightly - now out of the relegation zone for the first time this season!!

: 'ban' would work well in an informal context like a tabloid newspaper but less well in an official report or a quality newspaper//The official UEFA statement quoted in your reference uses "handed down a three-match suspension"...

Fifa.com offical enough?: "Rooney handed three-match ban" http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid=1526799.html // Just goes to show that the two expressions are pretty much interchangeable :-)

: Having just looked through the handbook of the English Football Association, I see that this is the way they phrase it: a "three-match suspension" (even though the UK press usually refer to a "three-match ban").

The FA uses the term suspensio, while the newspapers will tend to prefer the term ban.

Do you specialise in finance, or is my memory playing tricks? // Another German translator then. I think called Colin.

BERGAMASCO BANNED— The bad news is the four-match ban for Mauro Bergamasco, who was banned in a video conference in Edinburgh by the Celtic League board for a dangerous tackle during the match between Aironi and Ospreys.
Credo che questa versione (banned) sia molto usata, anche se il regolamento scritto parla di suspension;
Io sceglierei chi ha per primo risposto correttamente, ma metterei entrambi i termini
