(AP Photo/Julia Nikhinson, file) LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Five Uruguay players who were banned after clashes with Colombia fans at a Copa América game in the United States had their appeals heard Friday at sports' highest court. The players — including captain and Atletico Madrid defender José María Giménez, Liverpool forward Darwin Núñez and Barcelona defender Ronald Araújo — claimed they were protecting their families in the stands after Uruguay's semifinal loss at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, last July. The Court of Arbitration for Sport said Friday the appeal was being heard by remote video link. No timetable for a verdict was given.

Núñez was banned by a CONMEBOL disciplinary panel from five qualifying games for the 2026 World Cup, Betancur for four and the other players each for three games. 'There is no place for intolerance and violence on and off the field,' the soccer body said last July. Núñez was fined $20,000, Bentancur $16,000 and Giménez, Araújo and Olivera $12,000 each. Uruguay, coached by Marcelo Bielsa, is on track to qualify for the World Cup and return to the U.S., which is co-hosting the tournament with Canada and Mexico.

The top six in the final standings in September advance directly to the World Cup and the seventh-place team enters intercontinental playoffs in March next year. ___ AP soccer:
