Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior is under investigation by FIFA due to potential breaches of regulations regarding conflicts of interest. The probe centers on his ownership of multiple football clubs, which may contravene FIFA’s rules. As a result, Vinicius Junior could face a suspension of up to 2 years from football if found guilty
Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior is facing a potential two-year ban from football due to an investigation into a possible breach of FIFA’s Code of Ethics. The 24-year-old Brazilian superstar has been a key player for Real Madrid, winning numerous trophies including two Champions League titles and three La Liga titles.
This season, Vinicius has scored 21 goals and provided 15 assists in 47 matches across all competitions, making him an integral part of Carlo Ancelotti’s attacking lineup. With his contract set to expire in 2027, Real Madrid may look to extend his deal, but the investigation could jeopardize the player’s future with the club.
The investigation centers on Vinicius’s involvement with ALL Agenciamento Esportivo, a company managed by his father and agent, which has acquired stakes in several professional football clubs. Brazilian club Tiberis Holding do Brasil has filed a complaint against Vinicius, alleging a conflict of interest and requesting a two-year ban.
The complaint stems from Tiberis’s stake in Athletic Club of São João del Rei, which was promoted to Serie B. The FIFA Ethics Committee’s Investigatory Chamber will investigate the matter, and if found guilty, Vinicius could face a severe penalty that could impact his career.
