América v Necaxa could see date or venue change

Club América has its next Liga MX match scheduled for Saturday, January 31, hosting Necaxa at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.

However, a new problem has arisen for this match: on that same day, a Kanye West concert will be held at the Plaza de Toros, and the Benito Juárez borough has a strict ban on holding two massive events on the same day. It’s worth remembering that this has happened before, and for that reason, at the time, the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes was shut down.

This is a big problem for Las Águilas, since the match was scheduled at the start of the tournament and it’s unclear why they decided to use those dates for the concert, knowing there would be an event at the neighboring venue that day.

What will happen with the match against Necaxa?

At the moment, we have no official statement from the club or Liga MX, but there are three possible options to “solve” this problem:

Change of venue: The match could be played at another stadium, although this is a bit complicated since there aren’t many venues to choose from.
Change of date: This isn’t very feasible either, since the most logical thing would be to move the match to Sunday, but that’s not possible because América has a match in Honduras just a couple of days later, specifically on Tuesday. They also can’t move it up to Friday, since the aforementioned concert will be held on Friday and Saturday.
Move the match to Estadio Victoria: Another option is for Necaxa to be the home team for this match, and then in the next tournament, América would “repay” the visit.

We’ll have to wait for official information, but it’s impossible for América’s match to be played as currently scheduled.
