The Fifa Appeal
Committee ruled on Monday that the abandoned World Cup qualifier between Brazil
and Argentina must be replayed after considering the appeals filed by the
countries' football associations.
The qualifier in September was suspended just minutes after
kickoff when Brazilian health officials invaded the pitch to stop Argentina's
England-based players from playing, saying they had breached the country's Covid-19
quarantine rules.
Both teams have already qualified for the World Cup in Qatar
later this year, with Brazil topping the South American standings and Argentina
finishing second.
But soccer's governing body Fifa had ruled in February that
the match must be replayed.
"After analysing the submissions of both parties and
considering all circumstances of the case, the Appeal Committee confirmed that
the match would be replayed," Fifa said in a statement.
"(It) also upheld the fine of 50,000 Swiss francs ($50,322)
that was imposed on both associations as a result of the abandonment."
Fifa had also fined Brazil's FA (CBF) and Argentina's
Football Association (AFA) 500,000 Swiss francs and 200,000 Swiss francs,
respectively, for their failure to ensure "order and safety".
However, the Appeal Committee said it had decided to reduce
the fine on the CBF by 250,000 Swiss francs while the fine on the AFA had been
reduced by 100,000 Swiss francs.
Last month the AFA had said they would take their appeal to
the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Brazil and Argentina are also set to meet in a friendly
international at Melbourne Cricket Ground in June.
