be disqualified from + noun

be disqualified from + -ing

be disqualified for + offence

用法筆記

Usually follows be, remain, or become and often takes `from` plus a noun or -ing form. Use it when a referee, committee, court, or rule has already ruled someone out. If you only mean that a person does not meet the conditions from the start, `ineligible` is often the better word.
