The ANFP made official the suspension of the classic between the University of Chile and the Catholic University, originally scheduled for this Sunday at 6:00 p.m. at the National Stadium ”.
From the Quilín-based body, they argued that “the 72 hours between matches established by article 22 of the National Championship Rules are not met.”
This is because the “crusaders” must face Vélez Sarsfield next Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. for the Copa Sudamericana, only 51 hours after the duel with the “blues.”
However, the ANFP has not yet ruled on the matches for date 22 of the local tournament, between Coquimbo Unido and Deportes Antofagasta (December 9 at 9:00 p.m.) and that of the “UC” against Santiago Wanderers (10 December at 7:15 p.m.).
In these cases, the 72 hours established in article 22 of the Rules of the National Championship are not met either, precisely because of the matches between “pirates” and the foothills in Copa Sudamericana.
