South American Football Association decided to suspend the Liberator Cup for a week on March 12, and then extended the suspension period to May 5.
Xinhua News Agency, Rio de Janeiro, March 31 (reporter Zhao Yan, Chen Weihua) due to the spread of the new Crown pneumonia epidemic in South America, the South American Football Association considered to extend the suspension time of the Liberator Cup.
The South American Football Association believes that the re-start of the game on May 5, which was previously determined, is currently unlikely. Especially the Liberator Cup is an intercontinental event. As long as there is a serious epidemic in a country, it is impossible to compete. In addition, most South American countries have closed their borders for epidemic prevention.
South American Football Association decided to suspend the Liberator Cup for one week on March 12, and then extended the suspension period to May 5. Before the suspension, the Liberator Cup had already held six rounds of group matches.
In order to alleviate the financial crisis of the club, South American Football Association also paid the bonus that the club deserved during the group match in advance.
