Independiente knocked out of the Sudamericana, U de Chile handed the spot | OneFootball

Official. CONMEBOL has announced the sanction for Independiente, which has been automatically disqualified from the tournament.

After many days of waiting and anxiety to learn the decision, the organization’s legal department has made a public statement.

In this regard, it must be said that we have been removed from the cup. It is a very tough blow for the most decorated institution in Avellaneda, which will now have to try to move on quickly.

The club’s lawyers already have the ruling in their possession. A decision that includes not only disqualification, but also playing without fans at home for the next 7 international tournament matches.

We’ll see what steps Rojo will take now, but at any moment CONMEBOL will make the ruling public, which until now is only in the hands of the lawyers of both institutions.

Logically, in a matter of minutes the club is expected to respond or issue some sort of official statement on all its social media channels. Quite a major scandal.

The chronology of everything that happened between Independiente and CONMEBOL

That Wednesday night was a complete scandal. What we, the members, went through was terrible, but even more so for those who were in the Pavoni Baja stand.

On Thursday morning (the day after the match), the King of Cups delegation traveled to Luque to meet with people from the organization.

At that meeting, we shared our point of view, added information, and presented all kinds of evidence of what happened.

However, we didn’t stop there because we requested another hearing to have more time to present our position. That meeting took place last Tuesday, when the club officials traveled again to defend and review the argument.
