Convicted by CONMEBOL, Lionel Messi is Prohibited from Appearing in the 2022 World Cup Qualifying Openers

DBasia.news –  A fine of 1500 US dollars and a ban on playing in the opening match of the 2022 World Cup Qualification is a punishment received by Argentina superstar Lionel Messi, given by CONMEBOL.

Like alerts from Sky Sports, the South American football association, CONMEBOL decided to ban this play after Messi got a red card when the Argentine national team won 2-1 from Chile in the race for third place in the 2019 Copa America.

The player was sent off after being involved in a commotion with Chilean player Gary Medel who was given a red card in the match.

Previously, the 32-year-old man was sentenced to a four-match ban on March 2017, after excessive protests to the referee when the Argentine national team won 1-0 from Chile in the 2018 World Cup qualifying match. As a result, he was fined £ 8100.
