One of the possible sanctions for Canarinha would be the reduction of points in the classification table, according to that country’s Globo newspaper.
“The ban on playing matches in a certain stadium, the obligation to play on a neutral pitch or even the deduction of points” would be the sanctions that FIFA would investigate in this case, the Brazilian media note said.
To all this, although the sanction would not be announced for the time being, since the South American Qualifiers will resume in September 2024, it must be taken into account that, when it comes to the points reduction, Colombia would benefit from it, as would other teams.
The ‘Tricolor’, which is third today with 12 points, would receive up to 7 points ahead of the teams that have not qualified directly so far. Brazil is sixth with 7 points and would therefore only have 4 points.
