Uruguay’s Darwin Núñez and Rodrigo Bentancur were both handed suspensions following their involvement in a post-match altercation with Colombian fans during the Copa América 2024. The incident occurred after Uruguay’s semi-final defeat to Colombia, with both players involved in a physical confrontation with opposing supporters. According to reports, Núñez, the Liverpool forward, received a five-match ban and a $20,000 fine. The Tottenham midfielder, Bentancur, was also suspended for four matches due to his role in the altercation. Núñez’s suspension means he will miss Uruguay’s World Cup qualifier against Brazil in November, while Bentancur’s ban will impact his club and international commitments.
