Tolima vs. Independiente del Valle (Libertadores) and Santa Fe vs. River Plate (Sudamericana) will be played on a date yet to be determined.

The return legs of these matchups had already been scheduled for next week.

Tolima and Santa Fe are the only Colombian teams still alive in Conmebol competitions this season.

In a statement, Conmebol expressed solidarity with the victims of the earthquake in the country.

At this very difficult time, CONMEBOL sends its affection and support to all of Colombia and, especially, to the great family of Colombian football. In light of this exceptional situation, and to preserve everyone’s safety, as well as out of respect for the victims, the matches are temporarily suspended.
