translated from Spanish: ANFP suspended this weekend’s matches in the Metropolitan Region

The National Professional Football Association (ANFP) was determined to suspend the matches scheduled for this weekend and Monday in the Metropolitan Region.
The decision of the ANFP is then given that President Sebastián Piñera decreed a state of emergency in the provinces of Santiago and Chacabuco, in addition to the communes of Puente Alto and San Bernardo, a product of the violent protests that took place in the city on the night of the Friday and Early Saturday morning in upward rejection of public transport fares.
“The BOARD of directors of the ANFP decided to suspend all professional football matches, in addition to the women’s and youth football that were going to be played this weekend because of the social situation that is being lived,” confirmed ANFP communications manager Leopoldo Iturra, in Cooperative Radio.
By this Sunday, the match between the Catholic University and Colo Colo was scheduled, at 12:00 hours at the Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo.
Nor will the duels between Palestino and Unión Española, Audax Italiano and Cobresal, scheduled for this Saturday, and the clash between Universidad de Chile and Everton that was to be played on Monday.
Regarding rescheduling, Iturra noted that “it will be hard work, because it had to be played on FIFA date, but we can not be outside and not for a calendar theme was going to play the same here in Santiago”.
