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

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

After many days of waiting and anxiety to know the resolution, the legal department of the organization made a public statement.

In this regard, it must be said that we have been removed from the cup. It is a severe setback for the most decorated institution in Avellaneda, which will have to try to quickly turn the page.

The club's lawyers already have the ruling in their possession. A resolution that includes not only the disqualification but also playing without an audience at home for the next 7 international tournament matches.

We will see what action the Rojo takes now, but at any moment CONMEBOL will make the ruling public, which until now only the lawyers of both institutions have.

In a matter of minutes, logic would suggest that the club will issue a response or some type of institutional statement on all its official social media channels. Quite a significant scandal.

The chronology of everything that happened between Independiente and CONMEBOL

That Wednesday night was quite a scandal. What we, the members, suffered was terrible, but even more so for those who were in the Pavoni Baja section.

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

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

However, we did not stop there because we requested another hearing to have more time to present our position. That meeting took place last Tuesday, when the leaders traveled again to defend and review the argument.
