Conmebol fines Millonarios for infractions equivalent to $19,000 in the series against Fluminense

In the latest report by the Conmebol Disciplinary Unit, four fines imposed by the governing body of Colombian professional football on Millonarios FC in the second phase of the 2022 edition of the Conmebol Libertadores Cup are evident.

The current leader of the Colombian first division championship lost the 4-1 series to the Brazilian club Fluminense and after the matches played in Bogotá and Rio de Janeiro, received financial fines ranging from US$19,000 for violations committed during the continental championship.

Within the Bogotá squad, they were aware that with the move to phase 3 they could reorganize their finances by receiving a large sum of 600,000 dollars (2,317′077,296 Colombian pesos), but there was no way to achieve the task and on the contrary they suffered monetary sanctions in their attempt to reach four years later a group stage.
