The day ANVISA suspended Brazil vs Argentina

On September 5, 2021, Argentina visited Brazil at the Corinthians Arena in São Paulo for date 6 of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. At 6 minutes into the first half, health agents from the National Health Surveillance Agency of Brazil (ANVISA), they entered the stadium’s playing field, interrupted the match and struggled with the Argentine soccer players.

In the run-up to the meeting, Anvisa accused Emiliano Martínez, Cristian Romero, Giovanni Lo Celso and Emiliano Buendía of having lied in their sworn statements on Friday morning, when they entered the country from Caracas, Venezuela. At that time, Brazil prohibited entry to the country who during the previous 14 days had been in Great Britain, India or South Africawithin the framework of health restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Like the Brazilian Football Confederation, the AFA is surprised by the actions of ANVISA once the match started. It should be noted that the delegation was in Brazilian territory from September 3 at 8 am, complying with all the current health protocols regulated by Conmebol for the normal development of the Qualifiers towards Qatar 2022,” the AFA said in a statement issued at that time. From there a series of rescheduling began, until at the end of August, a few weeks before the World Cup and with both teams already classified, it was finally decided that the match would not be played.
