Bad news for Campazzo: due to a sanction against Red Star, he will not be able to play the Euroleague until March

After days of uncertainty, bad news finally arrived for Facundo Campazzo The Argentine, who joined this season Red Starwas awaiting authorization to dispute the Euroleague with his brand new team. However, this Wednesday it was confirmed that he will not be able to play, at least until March.

The motives? For a violation of the Financial Fair Play, the Euroleague announced a double sanction for the team: You will have to pay a financial fine of 25 thousand euros and you will not be able to register players until next February 28. In this way, Facu will have to wait two months to play the most important basketball competition at the club level in Europe.

As the Euroleague detailed in a statement, the sanction is for “Serious violations of the Financial Stability and Fair Play Regulations. The Finance Panel, to which the case was referred, had opened an adjudicative procedure and imposed a provisional ban on Red Star that prohibited the registration of players and coaches.

Among the faults that the Euroleague claims against Red Star, one of the most notable is the debt with different players and the fact of having provided false information regarding this issue. “The sanction also warns the club that any further violation of the FSFPR may lead to more severe sanctions, such as victories deducted from the team’s record.” add the statement.

If the sanction is lifted by the end of February, as planned, the Argentine point guard could play his first game in the Euroleague on March 2when Red Star faces Bayern Munich.

It should be noted that the sanction is appealable, so the Serbian team will surely make a presentation, since it considers it “unfair” and “disproportionate”.
