🚨 AFA schedules Boca v Racing in Copa, pending tribunal ruling

🚨 AFA schedules Boca v Racing in Copa, pending tribunal ruling The AFA has included the Copa Argentina match between Boca Juniors and Racing on its schedule. The match remains subject to the Disciplinary Tribunal’s ruling on the complaint filed by Vélez. The scheduled date is Sunday, September 27. There is still no confirmed kickoff time or stadium. What is Vélez’s complaint? The Liniers side claims Boca fielded an ineligible lineup by having six foreign players, since even though he did not play, Boca kept Ángel Romero on the bench. Vélez argues that, since the Copa Argentina regulations do not include an exception allowing the number of foreign players eligible on the team sheet to be increased to six, the general maximum of five from the Liga Profesional applies. They are asking for Boca to be sanctioned with a defeat and for the result to be recorded as Vélez 3-0 Boca, in accordance with articles 18.2, which covers ineligible lineups, and 26.1 of the Disciplinary Code.
