  • FC Universitario did not pay Bs 48,802 owed to Guabirá coach Leonardo Egüez within a 24-hour deadline issued on Aug. 31.
  • Egüez’s defense asked the Bolivian Football Federation’s disciplinary tribunal to ban the club from registering players for up to three consecutive periods and deduct three points.
  • The tribunal will decide whether to impose the requested sanctions over a debt previously established in a March 10 resolution.

FC Universitario’s 24-hour window to settle a Bs 48,802 debt to Leonardo Egüez has expired without payment, exposing the Cochabamba club to disciplinary measures.

Egüez, who now coaches Guabirá, received a payment order on Aug. 31. His legal representatives have returned to the Bolivian Football Federation’s disciplinary tribunal and asked it to act after the club missed the deadline.

The requested penalties include preventing FC Universitario from registering players nationally for up to three consecutive periods. Egüez’s defense also asked for a three-point deduction in the 2026 Professional Division tournament, or in whichever competition the club is currently playing.

The debt had already been established by the Tribunal for the Resolution of Disputes in a decision issued on March 10, 2026. The disciplinary tribunal must now review Egüez’s request and determine whether the proposed sanctions apply.
