Flamengo have anchored their complaint over Marcos Rojo’s alleged improper registration on a South American disciplinary precedent that still resonates from 2018.
A precedent from Santos
The Rio de Janeiro club, known as Mengão, have pointed to a ruling handed down against Santos in 2018 as the foundation of their case concerning Rojo’s participation.
- Flamengo’s complaint centres on the alleged improper inclusion of Marcos Rojo.
- The club has cited a historic 2018 decision involving Santos.
- Colombian midfielder Carlos Sánchez was the key player in that earlier case.
Rojo at the centre of Flamengo’s claim
