World football governing body, FIFA could be handing Vinicius Jr. a two-year ban for having a conflict of interest under its rules. FIFA is currently investigating the Real Madrid superstar to determine the same
The Brazilian is perhaps among the best footballers in the world, based on his feat at Real Madrid. For instance, Vinicius Jr. has contributed 105 goals and 79 assists in 311 outings for Los Blancos across competitions.
Also, Vinicius has been involved in much trouble on the pitch for his controversial behaviour and FIFA is now looking into this.
MARCA stated that the star player could bag a two-year ban from football by FIFA as a registered owner of several professional football clubs, which violates the world football governing body’s international football rules.
This is unconnected with Vinicius’ association with his father’s company, ALL Agenciamento Esportivo. The report notes that Brazilian firm Tiberis Holding do Brasil filed an official complaint against Vinicius with the FIFA Ethics Committee on April 7.
It cited a violation of ethics rules that ban players from having direct or indirect ownership of professional clubs.
The clubs Vinicius Jr reportedly owns stakes include Brazilian side Athletic Club de São João del Rei and Portuguese club Alverca.
The complaint against him cites FIFA’s Article 20 and Spain’s Article 22 about football ethics.
If found guilty, the player could be punished and compelled to sell off the said clubs or face suspension that could last up to two years.
