Punished 11 footballers who introduced boxing into this sport

Couple of days ago the South American organization has issued penalties for the Uruguayan players who were engaged in a fight after the semi-final game with Colombia from the Copa America 2024 tournament.

Darwin Nunez had to give 20,000 dollars (17,902 euros) and was removed for 5 matches. With 16,000 dollars (14,321 euros) and removal for 4 duels was the punishment that Rodrigo Bentancur had to pay. Three footballers will not be in the line-up for the next 3 official duels and also had to say goodbye to 12,000 dollars (10,741 euros): Mathias Olivera, Ronald Araujo and Jose Maria Gimenez. Sebastian Caceres, Matias Vina, Emiliano Martinez Toranza, Brian Rodriguez, Santiago Mele together with Facundo Pellistri have passed with only a fine of 5,000 dollars (4,476 euros).

In other words, this means that the first 5 have to rest until their penalties are over and can not be in the team, while the last 6 are going to be available for play starting with the upcoming matches (for the qualifiers of World Cup 2026).
