The classic of the Closing Tournament between Nacional and Peñarol, to be played on date 4 of the same, is initially scheduled for Wednesday, August 17. However, its realization on that date is practically ruled out after the Ministry of the Interior asked the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) for its rescheduling.
According to the journalist Sebastián Giovanelli, the Interior portfolio asked the entity that regulates Uruguayan football that the match be played on a weekend. Specifically on a Saturday or Sunday. He also requested that it be late.
The meeting was scheduled to be played in the Great Central Park on the night of the date indicated above. However, now a new schedule must be found, which cannot be the weekend of Sunday, August 21 either. The reason why the match cannot take place that day is due to the intercontinental final that will face the U-20 teams of the “carbonero” and that of Benfica from Portugal, which will take place at the Centenario Stadium.
Given these conditions, the intention of the AUF It would be to change date 4 to 6. In this way, the match could then be played on the weekend of Saturday 27 and Sunday 28.
