Due to the costumes added to the use of a badge that would supposedly refer to a famous Ecuadorian lottery, Castillo and his club were fined $ 50,000 for Conmebol, more than 280 thousand reais. The case of the “animal print” suit was recorded in the defeat to River Plate in Guayaquil 3-2.

The justification was the conduct of covered advertising during the Libertadores matches. For Conmebol, the coach took advantage of the attention generated by the extravagant clothes to advertise for the lotteries.
Conmebol regulation prohibits “ambush marketing” in cases of “any attempt by an entity, brand or person not authorized to associate their products, services or commercial image with any tournament organized by Conmebol.”

Revenues related to the rights of transmission that Barcelona would receive for their participation in the competition will have a discount to cover the punishment. The Ecuadorian team was eliminated in the group stage of Libertadores, ending in the last place of Group B.
