Argentina.- Conmebol made official the sanction to Messi for his harsh statements against Conmebol after his expulsion to Chile in third and fourth place of the Copa America, in which he accused the maximum agency of handling everything in Brazil: “We cannot be part of this corruption”, went to messi, who also charged against Conmebol and arbitrations after falling in the semi-finals against Brazil.
In addition, he was fined $50,000. “The amount of this fine will be automatically debited from the amount to be received by your Association for participation and/or awards,” Conmebol clarified in its statement.
The sanction begins to count from august 3rd and will last for 90 days, in which only three FIFA dates will be lost with Albiceleste, reserved for friendly duels against Chile (September 5), Mexico (September 10) and Germany (October 9).
He will therefore be available to Lionel Scaloni for the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers that start in March except for the first match (in front of a rival to be determined), where he will have to serve sanction for the expulsion itself. The FAA has seven days to appeal against this sanction in the Conmebol Appeals Committee.
