FIFA punishes Uruguay severely ahead of Qualifiers

The entity that governs football has pronounced the sanctions related to the incidents caused by the Uruguayan players after the match against Ghana, which marked the elimination of the World Cup in Qatar.

Uruguay will start the next Qualifiers with injuries. FIFA issued the sanctions against Celeste, regarding the incidents their players committed after the game with Ghana, which condemned their elimination from the World Cup in Qatar. At the end of this game, the Uruguayan players went all out against anything that came their way. First, against German judge Daniel Siebert and then, even, against a FIFA official, as in the case of defender José María Giménez.

The central defender of Atlético de Madrid is, in fact, the one who suffered one of the most categorical sanctions: a four-game suspension and a fine of 20,000 Swiss francs, the same sanction that goalkeeper Fernando Muslera received. suffered. Footage showed the defender nudging the body’s competition director, although he later apologised.

Therefore, since the calendar does not even foresee an equivalent number of official friendlies before the start of the road to the planetary event which will be jointly organized by Mexico, the United States and Canada, both will miss the start of the fight for one of the places.

Improper conduct, offensive and inappropriate behavior and violation of the principles of fair play by members of your national team is the concept that brings together the excesses of Diego Alonso’s students.

More penalties

Giménez and Muslera were not the only ones punished. Edinson Cavani and Diego Godín, two of the most experienced players in the sky blue team, were awarded a penalty and a fine of 15,000 Swiss francs . In their case, it is certain that they will respect the sporting sanction before the start of the playoffs.

Punishments are not the only ones. The Uruguayan association was also ordered to play its next game as home owners with reduced capacity. The reason is the misconduct shown by their fans in the last match of the global competition which took place in the Arab country. “Discriminatory behavior of their fans ”, is recorded in this case.
