Uruguay was left out of the World Cup despite its 2-0 victory over Ghana at the close of Group H, in a match in which, according to several of its players, the referee made serious mistakes that harmed the "celeste" as an alleged penalty against Edinson Cavani in the closing stages of the match.
After the match, many players charged the referee and accused FIFA of harming Uruguay.
FIFA said proceedings were opened against José María Giménez, Edinson Cavani, Fernando Muslera and Diego Godín for "possible violations of articles 11 and 12 of the Disciplinary Code" for the incidents after the match.

AUF lawyers are already working on the issue and have 10 days to make the pertinent defenses, according to reports in the Uruguayan press, according to Reuters.
