CONMEBOL released a statement regarding the situation. They insist that they will await the report from the referee before proceeding with any further actions.

It said: “By decision of the match referee, the match organized by FIFA between Brazil and Argentina for the World Cup Qualifiers is suspended.

“The FIFA Disciplinary Committee will receive a written report from both the referees and the match commissioner. It will then determine the next steps. These procedures adhere strictly to the current regulations.

One official was overheard shouting Messi: “We’ve been here for three days, we were waiting to play the match, why didn’t you come earlier?”

Brazil’s health regulator Anvisa said. “These players arrived in Brazil on a flight from Caracas.

“The flight landed at Guarulhos (Sao Paulo). They stated that they hadn’t been in any of these four countries for the last 14 days. Anvisa was warned by these players about the allegedly false information they had provided.

“After that, Anvisa sent a notification to CIEVS (in charge of Sao Paolo’s Covid-19 restrictions). We have to clarify that false information given to Brazilian authorities might be infractions of health laws of the country and might be an infraction of our criminal law.”
