Millionaires, complicated by concerts for the Libertadores
The South American Football Confederation announced this Tuesday the date of the draw for the group stage of the Libertadores Cup and published the regulations of the competition, which begins this Tuesday with the duel between Academia Puerto Cabello, from Venezuela, and Defensor Sporting, from Uruguay.
The regulations ratified a problem that affects Colombian teams due to lack of planning by the League and, in addition, generates additional damage to millionaires, that they would be forced to find a stadium for two of their three group stage matches.
The draw will be on March 19 and Millionaires will go to pot 3. That makes those directed by Alberto Gamero They have to play at home on dates 1, 4 and 5 of the group stage. The first day will be in the week of April 3 and that creates two problems for Millonarios: the first, that the El Campín stadium is busy with the staging of Karol G's concerts, which will have two dates on stage, 5 and 6 of April.
Karol G, whose real name is Carolina Giraldo, was born in Medellín in 1991.
And the second, that the Dimayor, when it established the League calendar, scheduled the classic against Santa Fe for those same days, as EL TIEMPO warned on December 23; also knowing about the performance of the 'Bichota' recital.
On the fifth date, Millos will be local again, in the week of May 15. And, again, it comes across a concert in El Campín, which will be offered by the vallenato singer Sylvester Dangond. Thus, the team would have to find a venue to play two of its three Libertadores games and play against Santa Fe with substitutes.
EL TIEMPO learned that Millonarios was only officially notified this Monday of the possible dates of the Libertadores dispute and there is concern about the issue.
Millionaires He clings to a precedent to see if he can stay in his house. When the team faced Atlético Mineiro in the 2023 Copa Libertadores, The south stand of the Mineirao stadium could not be used because there was a stage set up for a concert by the Brazilian band Shank.
With this background, the club awaits a meeting with the new director of the IDRD, Daniel García Cañón, to find out the conditions of the lease contracts for the two concerts and to see if there is enough time to play the Libertadores in front of their audience.
