Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez maintained his five international ban on Monday after being punished after his 2024 América Cup semi-final against Colombia in the 2024 América Cup semi-final appeal by the Arbitration Court on Monday.

The ruling means Nunez and four teammates will not miss it CelesteThe next three championship qualifiers will face Paraguay and Venezuela in a doubles match in June and their next match against Peru in September.

The forward will likely face Santiago's Uruguay team on September 13 to get the final match of the qualifier.

Tottenham Hotspur’s hot scorer Rodrigo Rodrigo Bentancur has to be in his furr-game timeout, while José María Giménez, Mahs and Ronald Raújo have to deal with three games.

CAS denied the player’s appeal and federal appeal, challenging Conmebol’s decision to commit violent acts against fans during the 2024 Copa América semifinals.

The players and the federal government tried to abolish all fines and suspensions related to the incident under the "self-defense principle", but CAS dominated the favor Conmebol.

Last summer, after Uruguay lost 1-0 to Columbia in Charlotte, North Carolina, players listed during the appeal process entered the stands and participated in violence against opposing supporters. Although Giménez said the players jumped into defending their families, Conmebol conducted an independent investigation and found the participants guilty.

"The attraction of the players and AUFs was then heard remotely on March 28, 2025. After hearing the opinions of all parties, the CAS team believed that the players' argument was that they acted on the principle of self-defense because relatives of the Uruguayan football team had a statement about dominance in the same department with Colombian fans."

"The panel found that in this case the principle of self-defense did not apply and that the player's behavior constituted voluntary, violent and unreasonable actions, which violated Conmebol's code of discipline. As a result, the appeal has been dismissed, including the decision to appeal to the player and the AUF, as well as the AUF, AUF, have risen."

Ben Tank was also fined $16,000 after the Uruguay Federation was fined $20,000.
