Argentine football halted: CGT strike cancels Thursday matches | OneFootball

The football matches scheduled for this Thursday have been suspended due to the Union of Workers of Sports and Civil Entities (Utedyc) joining the general strike called by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT). Given the inability to ensure the operability of the stadiums, the clubs in the Apertura Tournament are already considering the formal postponement of the four matches corresponding to the sixth date that were supposed to take place this afternoon and evening.

The affected schedule included the matches between Defensa y Justicia against Belgrano and San Lorenzo against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto in the first slot. Later, the activity was to continue with the attractive duel between Independiente Rivadavia and Independiente de Avellaneda in Mendoza, as well as the match between Instituto de Córdoba and Atlético Tucumán. So far, none of these institutions have received official confirmation about the new dates for rescheduling the games.

On the other hand, uncertainty persists regarding the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana between Lanús and Flamengo from Brazil. Unlike the local tournament, Conmebol usually seeks operational alternatives to fulfill its international commitments, so the suspension at "La Fortaleza" has not yet been confirmed. An imminent decision is expected from the South American entity to determine whether the continental match will be played or added to the list of postponed games.
