WE WANT SOCCER!
They
already opened everything in Colombia, but Dimayor is not solving anything in
order to play. The country entered the new normality, now everyone can go out, but
the ball is not rolling.
Since
Tuesday, September 1, in Colombia "the new normality" has already
been established, this means, the mobility restrictions that were decreed
during the last 5 months to control the new coronavirus pandemic ended and now
it will depend on the responsibility of citizens .
In
this context, shopping centers, restaurants with limited capacity, bars,
motels, airports, even dog houses have already been opened, but Colombian
football still does not take the step to resume the Soccer League.
Meetings,
Assemblies of Dimayor, talks with the Ministry of Sports are passing and the
return date is getting longer and longer. It was said that, in August, that the
first week of September, that the second and we are going now that it will be
the third.
In
this sense, the Minister of Sports, Ernesto Lucena, referred to the current
situation of Colombian football and its delays. "The Government has been
supporting that opening. The two entities in this are Minsalud and Mindeporte.
There was internal traffic in Dimayor that delayed the issue," Lucena
clarified on the radio program 'Deportes sin tapujos'.
And
he added: "For some additional requests from Dimayor such as number of
players, flexibility in the concentration space. We have told Minsalud to
consider those requests. Today we await that modified resolution for collective
training and the start of the League. With the decreed, which is in forced as
of September 1, there is flexibility in mobility, which favors that the
headquarters can be that of each team ".
Finally,
he said: "The message I leave is that we want to restart football, we are
on the right track. I hope that in the third week of September we will be
starting the tournament," he said.
