The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has decided to replay the 2022 World Cup qualifier between Argentina and Brazil, which was canceled shortly after the start last September. This was reported on the FIFA website.
FIFA will determine the date and venue of the match at a later date.
The Brazil-Argentina match, held in Brazilian Sao Paulo on September 5, was interrupted in the first minutes due to employees of the National Sanitary Inspection Agency (Anvisa) and the police who ran onto the field and tried to detain four Argentine players who violated the anti-covid protocol. FIFA opened a disciplinary case after the disruption of the match.
FIFA expresses regret over what happened at the match Brazil - Argentina and participation in the match.
Both federations will pay another $54 thousand due to the cancellation of the match.
In addition, FIFA suspended Giovanni Lo Celso, Christian Romero, Emiliano Martinez and Emiliano Buendia for two games for non-compliance with anti-COVID rules. Players arriving in Brazil from England were required to undergo a two-week quarantine, but the questionnaires did not report their stay in the UK.
The national teams of Brazil and Argentina have already secured participation in the final part of the World Cup, which will be held in Qatar in November-December this year.
