The leader referred to other current issues in Colombian football, such as the threats that several members of the clubs have received.
“Some complaints generate concern, which are received and transferred to a competent authority, which is the National Attorney General's Office. We do not have any mechanism or any possibility to do so because we are not legally authorized to do so. They are in the entity that can do it, we will look at the investigations we can do,” he said.

Regarding the problems of refereeing, he stated: “We are very concerned when there are these refereeing controversies, but that is part of football. The Arbitration Commission decided to make public the audio of the match between Deportivo Pereira and Junior. The VAR clarifies many things. “Here we must take into account something that we do not maximize and that is the effect of interpretation and not all of us agree on the same interpretation of a play.”
