Uruguay seeks solution to betting-advertising penalties at international matches
Uruguayan President Yamandú Orsi said the government was seeking a practical way to address betting-advertising penalties at international sporting events, after meeting Uruguayan Football Association president Ignacio Alonso and CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez. Orsi ruled out a substantive change to gambling law; the issue includes advertising shown during broadcasts and branding on visiting teams’ shirts ahead of the Copa Libertadores final in Montevideo on 28 November.
A practical solution could affect how clubs and visiting teams handle betting advertisements at international fixtures in Uruguay.
