🚨 Official: Colombian football stops because of the earthquake | OneFootball

DIMAYOR has decided to postpone this weekend’s matchday in Colombian football in solidarity with the victims and those affected by the earthquake. The competition will resume there on August 19, with a schedule that the institution will announce later.

The stadiums in the cities where matches are played later will become collection points for in-kind aid and financial contributions for the affected areas.

DIMAYOR and the 36 professional clubs will also make a financial donation aimed at rebuilding the cities hit by the earthquake. The organization said it will channel those resources through an organization that guarantees their proper use.

The statement closes with a message of support for the affected families. “We are with you. We understand you. We stand by you. And from Colombian football, we will do everything within our power to help,” they said.
