The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) has not taken any action due to the uncertainty that the country is experiencing, taking into account that a solution may be reached in the next few hours and the Sporting Cristal vs Flamengo match may be played. However, according to ESPN Brazil, it was found that CONMEBOL is in conversation with the Peruvian Government to reach an agreement.
It is known that the option of rescheduling the match is more likely than ever and that it would be played in the next few days to accommodate the schedule of the continental tournament. The Copa Libertadores was scheduled to be played from April 5th to May 28th in its group stage. Can the match be rescheduled?
The CONMEBOL is considering rescheduling this match as soon as possible. The problem that arises with the new measure is that both Sporting Cristal and Flamengo have very tight schedules as they have matches in the Liga 1 and the Brasileirao, respectively. Both teams have around 5 matches in the next few days during the month of April. It is expected that an agreement will be reached soon.
