World Cup
On September 22, Brazil – Argentina, which was interrupted due to a police raid
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee decided on September 22nd to redefine the match between Brazil and Argentina, which had been suspended last September due to the police invasion on the pitch.
The 5 September World Cup qualifying match between Brazil and Argentina, which was suspended due to the police raid on the field, has been replayed following a decision by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.
The two teams will meet again on September 22nd.
It is recalled that the police had entered the field because Albiseleste had violated the coronavirus regulations in force at the time.
In particular, Los Celso, Martinez, Romero and Buentia, who play in the Premier League and were integrated into the Argentine squad, broke the rules dealing with travelers from the UK to Brazil.
The individual footballers were given a two-game penalty by FIFA for not abiding by the rules for returning from international matches. At the same time, the two associations were hit with heavy fines. Brazil pays 525,000 euros, Argentina 190,000.
