Chile's Football Federation Calls for Referee Suspension

Chile's football federation (FFC) has petitioned CONMEBOL to suspend referee Wilmar Roldan following their elimination from the Copa América after a 0-0 draw with Canada. The FFC accused Roldan of lacking impartiality and making critical errors, including not reviewing a potential elbow incident and failing to award penalties in previous matches. Despite CONMEBOL rejecting a prior request to suspend Roldan, the FFC insists on a severe sanction for his alleged recurrent biased conduct. Chile's early exit from the tournament, without scoring a goal, marks a significant departure from their previous performances, having not exited before the quarterfinals since 2004.
