FIFA sanctioned the Argentina Football Association this Wednesday for “misconduct,” “discrimination,” and “order and security” in their World Cup Qualifying games vs. Ecuador, Uruguay, and Brazil. As a result, Argentina will have 50% of the stadium’s capacity at their next home game, and they will have to pay a total of CHF 120,000 (Swiss Franc).
In the matches at home vs. Ecuador and Uruguay, Argentina had the following incidents according to FIFA:
Team misconduct (delayed kick-off), discrimination (discriminatory behavior by supporters), and order and security at matches (invasion of the field of play).
In the away game vs. Brazil, Argentina was sanctioned for “order and security at the match (lack of order or discipline in or around the stadium).”
On the other hand, Brazil received a CHF 50,000 fine for the game vs. Argentina due to “failure to ensure that law and order were maintained in and around the stadium and lack of order or discipline in the stadium.”
Claudio Echeverri will play in the Olympic qualifiers in place of injured Pedro de la Vega.
“El Diablito” was called up by the coach Javier Mascherano as an emergency following a muscle tear suffered by the Lanús attacker, Pedro de la Vega. Echeverri, who had already started the preseason with River Plate in the United States, will travel shortly to join the Argentina U-23 team.
The official list of players that will represent Argentina in the Olympic qualifiers to start on January 20 is expected to be released in the next couple of days.
