Boca faces possible sanctions

Boca Juniors faces potential sanctions after displaying betting company sponsorship at Maracaná, which is prohibited under Brazilian law.

Boca Juniors' 3-1 victory over Vasco da Gama in the Copa Sudamericana semi-final at Rio's Maracaná stadium on Tuesday night triggered a legal dispute in Brazil. The Argentine club displayed Betsson betting company branding on their shirts, violating Brazilian legislation that prohibits gambling advertising across the country. Sports law experts warn the club faces administrative and financial penalties, and could be banned from playing future matches in Brazil if it fails to remove the sponsorship from its kit.
