😱Vélez demands Boca-Racing in Copa Argentina be suspended | OneFootball

Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield appealed to the Court of Appeals to request the immediate suspension of the match between Racing Club and Boca Juniors, as part of a filing related to the 2026 Copa Argentina.

The claim over an ineligible lineup

El Fortín argues that Boca breached the regulatory limit by including a sixth foreign player on the match sheet in the game played between the two sides. The Liniers-based club maintains that, although the ruling acknowledges the 'Xeneize' committed the offense, it still improperly keeps the sporting benefit of the result obtained.

Request for qualification and interim measure

In light of this situation, Vélez is asking for the previous decision to be overturned, for the ineligible lineup to be declared, and for a 3-0 victory to be awarded to them, thus securing direct qualification to the quarter-finals of the tournament. As an urgent provisional measure, they are asking for the sporting effects of the case to be frozen and for the clash against the 'Academia' to be suspended.
