Flamengo seeks to overturn elimination in Libertadores semifinal dispute
Summary

Flamengo is pursuing legal action with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to challenge their elimination from the Libertadores semifinals by Estudiantes. The key issue centers on Marcos Rojo's potential ineligibility, which could lead to a reversal of the outcome. CAS previously allowed Rojo to play in that match but did not guarantee Estudiantes immunity from future sanctions. No date has been set for a final ruling on the case, leaving both clubs in uncertainty as they await developments.
