What sanctions would Boca suffer if he did not show up for a final against River

Boca plays hard: he wants to win the Copa Libertadores on the Conmebol's desk. Its president, Daniel Angelici, had already badured that they would not play in any case against River, in any field or in any country. And such a position could lead the club to serious consequences if the disciplinary court finally decided to play the final in suspense.

Angelici said that he would raise another complaint in the Appeals Chamber of Conmebol if the decision, which will be taken tomorrow, would be against Boca's interests. And I could even go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

According to the Conmebol regulation, once the Court of Appeal has delivered its judgment, it is considered as "firm" and the appeal to the CAS does not have suspensive effect on the impugned decision. In this case, Boca would have to play.

If the Xeneize is not presented, the disciplinary regulation imposes sanctions of all kinds: from the loss of the game to the ban of participating in the upcoming competitions of Conmebol.

Article 179 speaks of the loss of the match and the exclusion of the contest. In the 180 also specified that the club must pay the Conmebol a "compensation for any damage or injury." Then come the millions of dollars that the South American organization would lose for television and advertising rights.

In addition, Article 181 states that the club "may be disqualified from future tournaments organized by CONMEBOL" and even mentions the possibility of sanctioning it in FIFA tournaments.

Boca knows very well where you can go if you do not receive good news from the Disciplinary Tribunal and the Appeals Chamber. Sports and economic sanctions can be very serious.
