⚖️ Take note, Flamengo! Conmebol rules on the 'Rojo case' On Wednesday (28), Conmebol's Disciplinary Committee announced that it had rejected Flamengo's appeal to have Estudiantes disqualified for fielding Marcos Rojo in the second leg of the 2026 Libertadores semifinals at the Maracanã. The Argentine club itself posted the ruling by South American football's governing body on X (formerly Twitter ). " Club Estudiantes de La Plata announces that the CONMEBOL Disciplinary Committee has decided to reject in full the protest filed by Flamengo regarding the alleged ineligible fielding of Marcos Rojo in the semifinal of the 2026 CONMEBOL Libertadores Cup, as well as its request for provisional measures. See you on the 28th, family! ". According to journalist César Luis Merlo, the case is still before CAS (the Court of Arbitration for Sport, in Switzerland), but the final ruling will not be announced until after the Libertadores final. Palmeiras and Estudiantes will face off on November 28 at the Estadio Centenario in Uruguay in the continental tournament's final. Flamengo has yet to issue a statement following the final ruling by Conmebol's Disciplinary Committee.  There was no shortage of jokes about the situation on social media.
