FIFA punishes four Uruguayans for incidents following withdrawal from the 2022 World Cup

FIFA today penalized four Uruguayan footballers for incidents following Qatar’s 2022 World Cup group stage match that culminated in a 2-0 win against Ghana, one goal away from elimination.

Edison Cavani, Diego Godín, José María Giménez and Fernando Muslera were questioned for “misconduct”, including “offensive behavior and violation of the principles of fair play” for the incorrect way they addressed the referee after the game ended.

Giménez and Muslera were eventually punished with a four-match suspension each, in addition to a fine of around 20,000 euros and “community service for the benefit of the football community”.

Cavani and Godín for their part were sentenced to one game suspension, about 15,000 euros and also to community service.

The Uruguayan federation, on the other hand, was deemed “responsible for the discriminatory behavior of its supporters” as well as that of its athletes, so in its next FIFA match at home it will play with the stadium partially closed, in addition to a fine of 50,000 euros.

In the 57th minute, the German referee Daniel Siebert consulted with the VAR about a possible penalty kick from former Benfica player Darwin Nunez, without penalizing him, which could have made it 3-0: at the end of the game with a threatening attitude , the players surrounded – and offended him.

With the same four points as South Korea, Uruguay finished third in Group H, won by Portugal, with six points, one goal away from being superior to the Asians who were coached by Paulo Bento.

“If they penalize me for removing the VAR monitor, then they will have to arrest the referee for keeping us away from the World Cup. They were mistakes that cannot be made with VAR, with all the cameras and all the referees there. ” happen,” he told Edison Cavani at the time.
