Another club has been implicated in financial irregularities: Santiago City has been expelled from the league by the First Chamber of the Disciplinary Tribunal of the ANFP (National Professional Football Association)

The First Chamber of the ANFP Disciplinary Court unanimously expelled Santiago City from the Chilean Second Division due to financial irregularities. The sanction followed a complaint filed by the professional football association’s board regarding unpaid settlement fees owed to player Fabián Núñez. Radio Bío-Bío reported that the club allegedly used forged documents during its defense of these charges. A forensic examination confirmed specific matches between the notary stamps and signatures on the disputed papers. The court stated that the detailed ruling will be notified soon, allowing the club five days to file an appeal.
