Este lunes, futbolistas de la Selección Peruana de Fútbol publicaron videos en redes sociales pidiendo a la comunidad de su país no votar por el comunismo en la segunda vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales a celebrar este año. Los clips son parte de una campaña llamada "Ponte la Camiseta" y en ella los jugadores muestran su rechazo por el candidato de izquierda, Pedro Castillo, a la vez que apoyan implícitamente a la candidata de derecha, Keiko Fujimori, hija de Alberto Fujimori, el ex dictador peruano hoy preso por crímenes de lesa humanidad.
La CONMEBOL comunicó este martes el calendario de la Copa América de 2021, que iniciará el 13 de junio en Buenos Aires y terminará el 10 de julio en Barranquilla. La competición iba a ser disputada el año pasado pero la pandemia del COVID-19 lo impidió.
La Copa América 2021 comenzará en Argentina el 13 de junio con los enfrentamientos Argentina-Chile y Paraguay-Bolivia, mientras que la final tendrá lugar en Barranquilla (Colombia), el 10 de julio, anunció este lunes la Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol.
This year's Copa América will go ahead with only 10 teams, the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) said on Monday, as it abandoned plans to replace Australia and Qatar, the two sides who withdrew due to fixture congestion.
"As is traditional, CONMEBOL invited teams from other confederations," the body said in a statement. "However, the suspended matches and delays brought about by the pandemic that affected world football impeded other nations from participating."
ASUNCION — The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) has decided to suspend this month's double header of World Cup qualifiers for Qatar 2022 amid concern over the COVID-19 pandemic and strict quarantine restrictions.
The 10 South American teams were due to play two games on March 25/26 and March 30 but CONMEBOL acknowledged tightening lockdown and quarantine regulations mean many of the European-based players will be unable to travel.
Rounds 5 and 6 of the CONMEBOL 2022 World Cup qualifiers, scheduled for this month, are not fully confirmed due to the restrictions on players due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
CONMEBOL representatives will hold a key meeting this week, most likely on Friday, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino, to know the position of the world soccer governing body regarding the difficulties that South American teams have to make their player selections.
