CONMEBOL sanction Boca and Vasco Arruabarrena: why | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Commission of the South American Football Confederation announced the sanction that Boca received for failing to comply with the regulations in the match against O'Higgins in the first leg of the continental competition’s round of 32. The club must pay a financial fine and also received a warning.

CONMEBOL announced a new sanction that directly affects the club’s finances and coaching staff. South American football’s governing body notified Boca Juniors and its coach, Rodolfo Arruabarrena, of a series of financial penalties and disciplinary warnings related to infractions committed during their match against the Chilean side at La Bombonera.

The main reason for the punishment centers on a violation of Article 5.1.11.5 of the Club Manual, which strictly punishes delays in the resumption of play. For this offense, the Disciplinary Tribunal imposed a total fine of USD 35,000.

CONMEBOL’s fine against Boca is 35 thousand dollars.

Of this amount, USD 20,000 corresponds to the institution, while the remaining USD 15,000 falls directly on Arruabarrena, as he is considered the person responsible for the team on the field. As is customary in these cases, the money will be automatically deducted from the income Boca receives from television rights or sponsorships.

In addition to the fine, Boca received a warning from CONMEBOL

But the sanctions did not end with the financial penalty. The club also received a formal warning for violating Article 5.4.2, which regulates the use and return of bibs in competition areas. Although no monetary fine was applied for this first offense, it was recorded as a negative precedent.

The document issued by CONMEBOL places special emphasis on Article 27 of the Disciplinary Code, leaving a clear warning for the future: if Xeneize or Vasco Arruabarrena commit similar offenses again, repeat offender status will be applied, which would lead to much harsher punishments, both financially and sportingly.

Boca now has a non-extendable period of seven calendar days to file an appeal before the Appeals Commission. If the club’s leadership decides to proceed through this route, it must pay a fee of USD 3,000 for the claim to be considered admissible.
