South American World Cup qualifiers postponed over travel constraints
ASUNCION, March 6, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – South American football’s governing body on Saturday postponed the two rounds of 2022 World Cup qualifiers scheduled for the end of the month because of travel restrictions affecting European-based players.
The decision to call off the double matchday, which was due to take place on March 25-26 and 30, was “due to the inability to have all the South American players in a timely manner,” CONMEBOL said in a tweet.
The confederation said it would study the options available in order to reprogramme the matches postponed.
