Violence marked the duels between Albiceleste and Canarinha, and between Bicolor and Vinotinto. This is why the governing body of world football is analyzing possible sanctions for the respective teams.
The Peruvian team is not having a good time . The team led by Juan Reynoso occupies the last position of the Qualifiers, with two units. They managed to achieve two draws, in addition to scoring only one goal, which makes them, for the moment, the worst team in the Conmebol qualifiers.
Despite their bad moment, the red and white team’s situation could get worse. Of course, this time it has nothing to do with football, but rather something purely non-sporting.
Peruvian team could be punished by loss of points which could mean the end of the illusion of qualification for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in Mexico, the United States and Canada. The reason? The bad behavior of Peruvian supporters. The incidents that occurred during the confrontation against the Venezuelan team could lead to a painful sanction from FIFA.
All of this goes back to what happened off the field of play. The incidents marked the duel, both beforehand, during development and after the finish. There were numerous racist insults against the visiting team, in addition to the obvious mistreatment by the police towards Llanera supporters. . On the other hand, the determination of the Peruvian authorities when they decide to monitor the entire visiting public, with the aim of finding illegal residents it was a situation that was also disturbing.
Brazil and Argentina, out of the corner of your eye
Conmebol issued a statement disclaiming responsibility for what happened during its qualifying matches, citing the fact that the competitions are organized by FIFA. Actually, They also referred to the violent events that marked Argentina’s victory over Brazil.
There, the fierce actions of the Rio de Janeiro police even threatened to suspend the duel after the Albiceleste players, led by Lionel Messi, decided to leave the Maracaná field following the attacks that occurred in the stands .
However, The Argentine team could also suffer a loss of points after their supporters broadcast racist insults against some Brazilian players. . One of the most affected was Rodrygo, involved in an argument with Messi. At FIFA, we are already analyzing the actions to follow.
The cases and their respective sanctions would be based on the current Disciplinary Code of world football’s governing body, which has already announced that it will open a file to analyze what happened. Gianni Infantino, president of the entity, delivered a powerful message through his social networks: “Violence in football is completely unacceptable, both on and off the pitch. These types of events, like those that occurred during the FIFA World Cup qualifying match between Brazil and Argentina at the Maracana stadium, are unacceptable in our sport and in our society. Without exception, all players, supporters, staff and managers need to feel safe in order to play and enjoy football, and I call on the relevant authorities to ensure that this is respected in all areas. “, he indicated.
