Uruguay’s FA (AUF) has been suspended by South American body CONMEBOL, a move the AUF said did not affect the national team’s participation at the World Cup.

“(CONMEBOL) has decided to provisionally suspend the AUF from its rights as a member association, a decision not detrimental (to Uruguay) in the sporting arena,” the AUF said.

The AUF cannot take part in or vote at a CONMEBOL congress, have a seat on its or FIFA’s Exco or put candidates forward for election to representative positions.”
