The Bolivian football landscape has recently been marked by disciplinary issues and on-pitch tension involving Real Potosí.

In early September, a Copa Bolivia match between Aurora and Real Potosí ended in confrontation. Following a controversial play during stoppage time, players and staff from both sides engaged in shoving and arguments, leading to a seven-minute delay before the referee ended the match. Aurora won the game 1-0 via a second-half penalty.

By mid-September, Real Potosí faced Real Oruro in a match played behind closed doors. This sanction was imposed by the Bolivian Football Federation (FBF) Discipline Tribunal following racist and discriminatory insults directed at striker Ángel Quiñónez by spectators during a previous match. Real Oruro was also fined 15 national minimum wages, marking the second consecutive instance of fan-related sanctions for the club.
