FIFA announced a severe sanction against Luis Suárez for biting an opponent, suspending him for nine official matches and four months from any football-related activity. This unprecedented decision was met with criticism from the Uruguayan government and fans, who viewed it as excessive. The incident occurred during a match against Italy's Giorgio Chiellini. Suárez's penalty includes a $112,000 fine. Critics argue that if a more influential team were involved, the punishment might have been less severe. Suárez has a history of similar incidents, having been penalized for biting twice before. The new sanction prevents him from participating in the upcoming World Cup match against Colombia and entering any stadium during his suspension.
