Flamengo Seeks 3–0 Administrative Win After Rojo Played Under CAS Order

Overview

• The Court of Arbitration for Sport granted a provisional measure on Wednesday allowing Marcos Rojo to be registered and play for Estudiantes while explicitly reserving the possibility of future sporting or disciplinary consequences.
• Estudiantes advanced on penalties after a 0–0 draw at the Maracanã on Saturday, and Flamengo filed a formal protest with CONMEBOL within 24 hours arguing Rojo’s registration violated FIFA and CONMEBOL registration rules.
• Flamengo’s complaint invokes Article 19 of CONMEBOL’s Disciplinary Code and asks for a 3–0 administrative victory, citing a 2018 Libertadores precedent where an irregular registration changed a tie result.
• Estudiantes must submit a written defense by the reported October 26 deadline and the case is slated for a TAS hearing on November 12, a timetable that could alter the finalists before the November 28 final in Montevideo.
• If CONMEBOL or TAS rules the registration irregular, Flamengo would be awarded the tie and a place in the final while a rejection would keep Estudiantes’ on-field win, a choice that puts tournament scheduling and integrity under immediate strain.
