CONMEBOL Bans Racing Fans for Three International Games and Fines Club Over Pyro, Racism

The ruling treats the incident as a repeat offense following an earlier punishment.

Overview

  • Racing must play its next three CONMEBOL fixtures behind closed doors, with a fourth match at reduced capacity.
  • The confederation imposed an economic penalty reported at about $200,000.
  • CONMEBOL cited prohibited pyrotechnics at the Flamengo semifinal and a serious racist act in the stands.
  • The case was judged as a recurrence after a 2024 sanction linked to a reception with flares against Corinthians.
  • APrevide reversed a domestic restriction, so Racing will host River Plate with fans, while the international sanctions will shape its 2026 campaign and match-day revenue.
