Real Madrid star, Vinicius Jr faces 2-year ban from football
Real Madrid superstar, Vinicius Jr could reportedly face a two-year ban.
World football governing body, FIFA could be handing the Brazilian two-year ban for creating a conflict of interest under its rules.
FIFA is currently investigating the Brazilian to determine the same.
The Brazilian is arguably among the best footballers in the world, owing to his success at Real Madrid.
He has contributed 105 goals and 79 assists in 311 outings for Los Blancos across competitions.
Vinicius has been involved in much trouble on the pitch for his controversial behaviour and FIFA is now looking into this.
According to MARCA, the Brazilian could be hit with a two-year ban from football by FIFA because he is a registered owner of several professional football clubs, which violates the world football governing body’s international football rules.
The issue stems from 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.
The complaint cited a violation of ethics rules that ban players from having direct or indirect ownership of professional clubs.
Some of the clubs Vinicius Jr reportedly owns stakes in are 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.
The Brazilian, if found guilty, could be punished and forced to sell of the said clubs or suspension for up to two years.
