Through a statement, the entity chaired by Claudio Tapia reported that the legal dispute between the AFA, the CBF and the FIFA that it had reached the Sports Arbitration Court (CAS) and that the game “will no longer be played again”.
The AFA accepted responsibility for the events that occurred on September 5 in São Paulo when a Brazilian health agent entered the field of play to prevent the development of the match corresponding to the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar.
FIFA imposed a fine on the AFA of 150,000 Swiss francs, but half of the amount was suspended “for a trial period of two years”.
The AFA will donate to the World Health Organization (WHO) half (about 37,000 Swiss francs) of the part that corresponds to pay.
The FIFA had scheduled for next September 22 the resumption of the suspended game.
The first to object was the Argentine national team who, through the AFA, appealed the measure in FIFA and then in the TAS.
Last week, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) joined the request of the AFA and asked FIFA to suspend the match at the request of Tite’s coaching staff.
With the suspension confirmed by both parties, both Argentina and Brazil will take advantage of the last international window (from September 19 to 27) to play friendlies in preparation for the World Cup.
And in this sense, the chosen dates are September 20 and 26 and the venues for these meetings are the US cities of Miami and New York.
The chosen rivals are two selected that will participate in the World Cup in Qatar such as Costa Rica, a member of Group E, which would be the first opponent in Miami, and South Korea, a component of Zone H that will share with Uruguay, the second in New York.
“AFA would like to thank FIFA for their readiness and availability to resolve this issue under these very specific circumstances and in a short period of time.”concluded the text published on the official page.
