Conmebol's irregularities in Brazil

The arrogance and arrogance of the president of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol), Alejandro Domínguez, received a hard lesson this Sunday with the unprecedented suspension of the American classic, Brazil vs. Argentina, after 5 minutes of play, for non-compliance with Brazilian health regulations and laws.

Last April, the abuses committed by Conmebol in health matters had already been noticed in Paraguay, but which the Paraguayan authorities ignored. This time Itamaratí did not play the Conmebol game and the knockout match was suspended.

The embarrassing spectacle that was given to the world, from a meeting that although it belongs to FIFA, the entire organization falls to Conmebol, is nothing more than the corollary to a chain of similar events where the Confederation ran over and circumvented the protocols and regulations sanitary companies of countries in the region to impose their criteria and force the dispute of several matches either for the Copa Libertadores, the South American or even the last Copa América played on Brazilian soil.

In fact, there are governments that put national interests and security before their population, such as the government of Chile or the government of Ecuador, which prohibited the dispute of meetings in their territories when there were cases of coronavirus positives in any of the team members in dispute. But, as Conmebol always encounters unscrupulous and opportunists, it has had in the Paraguayan government, for example, a permanent ally to host all those parties rejected as irregular in other governments.
