    Copa America: The coach was heavily criticized for organizing the tournament, fined lakhs of rupees


    Sao Paulo. A coach was pressed for condemning the Copa America event. The coach was fined lakhs of rupees for criticism. The South American Football Confederation (CONMABLE) has fined Brazilian coach Tite 5,000 dollars or about 350,000 taka for condemning the Copa America tournament. A week earlier, a Bolivian player was banned for criticizing the organization of the tournament amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    In a press conference on June 12, Tite said that the decision to host the Copa America in Brazil was made in a strange way. The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Colombia and Argentina, but was handed over to hosts Brazil at the last minute after both withdrew. Conmable said Tete could face new penalties if he again denounced the organizers.
