  • Conmebol fined Universidad Católica $5,000 for security-regulation violations during its 1-1 Copa Libertadores match at Estudiantes de La Plata on Aug. 11.
  • The violation involved flags, banners and similar materials obstructing views in stadium stands, contrary to Article 24(a) of Conmebol’s Security Regulations.
  • The fine will be deducted automatically from the club’s Conmebol television-rights or sponsorship revenues, and the governing body also issued a warning.

Universidad Católica will pay $5,000 after Conmebol ruled that the Chilean club violated stadium security regulations during its Copa Libertadores visit to Estudiantes de La Plata.

The case concerns the 1-1 draw played in Argentina on Aug. 11, the first leg of the teams’ round-of-16 tie. Conmebol’s Disciplinary Commission adopted resolution CL.O-129-26 on Aug. 26.

The governing body cited Article 24(a) of its Security Regulations. The provision covers the installation of textiles in stadium stands and says that flags, banners, cloth signs and similar materials must not block spectators’ view of seating sections.

The $5,000 penalty will be taken automatically from Universidad Católica’s Conmebol revenue from television rights or sponsorships. Conmebol also issued the club a warning.
