FIFA announces ban on three Brazilians for betting manipulation

Manipulation schemes in Brazilian football have become increasingly larger, and their discoveries are already generating consequences for players who agreed to do so. Thus, this Monday, the 11th, FIFA announced the ban of three Brazilian players because of the case of yellow cards, investigated a few months ago.

The sport’s highest entity therefore defined that Ygor Catatau, Matheus Gomes It is Gabriel Tota They are no longer allowed to play professionally for any club in the world. The sanction made by FIFA is precisely to prevent them from reaching agreements with any other club outside the country.

In addition to them, 8 other names were published on the entity’s official website confirming the sentence for each one, which ranges from 360 days of suspension to banishment. It is worth remembering that the punishments are consequences of Operation Maximum Penalty, by the Public Ministry of Goiás, which discovered a large betting scheme.

CBF’s request for FIFA to analyze the cases and also apply sanctions yielded several hooks, such as Eduardo Bauermann, who even signed a contract with a Turkish club after the national suspension. The player belonged to Santos at the time and was caught for accepting a yellow card in last year’s Brasileirão.
