Fluminense is punished by Conmebol, receives ‘bitter ticket’ and compromises Libertadores award

Fluminense

Fluminense surprises Brazil with competitive and engaging football. The team coached by coach Fernando Diniz is one of the promising forces in the three competitions it competes in and the Tricolor fans are hopeful, however, there are off-field issues that also need attention and this Friday (12th), the board learned that there is a problem to solve in Laranjeiras.

This is because Conmebol punished Fluminense due to the use of flares by the fans in the duel against The Strongest (BOL), for the second round of the Libertadores. Nense still took another turn from the entity that governs South American football and will also have to pay for the lack of structure for the transmission.

In all, the value of the ‘ticket’ for the problems adds up to 8,300 dollars (R$ 40,800). To pay for the ‘trouble’, Fluminense will have the value of the prize discounted. The Club was denounced in articles “12.2 c)” of the Disciplinary Code and in article “4.5.5.1” of the Libertadores Club Manual.

The first punished for “lighting flares, fireworks or any other type of pyrotechnic object” and provides for a fine of 5,000 dollars. The second refers to the responsibilities of the host of the match, who “must be equipped with telecommunications infrastructure, at the expense of the host club, so that the local telecommunications company installs three telephone lines with free international calls”. The penalty for the second is $10,000 for missing three lines, but since one was missing, the fine was $3,300. The information is from the Lance portal.

Rafael Leitão, a journalist born and raised in São Paulo, who has been writing for Bolavip since 2020, specializing in Brazilian Clubs, is a profound admirer of the roots of football, considered an inherent part of culture, in all its permanence and continuity of its traditions.
