In Brazil They are trinating. La Canarinha, and classified, lost its match of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in El Alto, against Bolivia (1-0). And the president of the CBF, Samir Xaud, did not wait to regret and criticize some aspects such as the state of the pitch, arbitration or the treatment received by the police authorities in the country, among other things.
“What happened here today is sad. We came to play football and what we saw since we arrived was completely unsportsmanlike. Even at this altitude of 4,000 meters we played against the referees, the police and the pick them up, which took the balls out of the field and then put them back.

Xaud continued with his criticism in ‘Globoesporte’: “It is not what we expect from world football or South American football. What we want is to grow even more. This type of attitude, especially playing at height, is difficult, especially when you play with 14 men on the court. I hope that Conmebol takes measures, precisely because we have everything registered. This cannot happen, it is absurd.”
The situation of the collection mentioned by Samir Xaud occurred in the final minutes, when balls were thrown into the field to interrupt the attacks of the selection. Xaud also said that the delegation had problems with the Bolivian police: “The police are brutal with the entire team and the coaching staff. We rcibated all the teams with great affection and put everything available. And when we play outside Brazil, especially here, the reception is absurd. I am outraged,” he added.
