The sports minister, Ernesto Lucenaspoke in the Snail Carousel in order to clarify various issues around the return of Colombian soccer, as well as the panorama of other sports as a result of the pandemic of COVID-19.
According to the Colombian League, Lucena emphasized that, at this time, the return of football is not feasible under any conditions. “The opening of the soccer tournament must be in the second semester and behind closed doors. Today it would be unfeasible to play at one venue or at all, there are no conditions to have football. We will see with the Ministry of Health if we can. And if at that time there is a city that can host the tournament one could consider. However, it is premature to affirm that it can be at a headquarters or throughout the country, “he said.
Another rumor that the minister denied was on the possibility of the return of the broadcast of soccer on open television, ensuring that that is false: “So far we are evaluating the protocol from a medical and scientific point of view. The television issue is already in a third or fourth moment. We hope that the Dimayor can channel all the suggestions and we can present them to the president. “
As for other individual sports, which are “minimal contact”, there is the option to resume them more quickly. However, he said that decision does not depend on his portfolio: “Sports that have minimal contact, such as athletics, tennis, golf, could be done after May 11. But I repeat, the final decision is made by the Ministry of Health“
Finally, Lucena explained that he is trying to schedule a meeting with the other ministers of Latin America as well as with the president of the Conmebol, Alejandro Domínguez, to arrange various aspects of the return of football: “We are willing to work with Conmebol.And yes, President Duque does not want to be one of the first leagues to start“he concluded.
