Quito, the city where the match is played, passed this January 22, 2022 to a yellow traffic light, according to the National COE.
The National COE gave one of the two most anticipated announcements this January 22, 2022.
After 3:30 p.m. it was noted that the face-to-face classes are resumed from January 24, 2022, voluntarily.
However, about the meeting between Ecuador and Brazil, for the South American qualifiers on the way to World Cup Qatar 2022, it was only anticipated that the plenary would announce it on January 24.
“The COE meets again. We will analyze this request, based on a technical report, and it will be communicated to the entire country,” said Juan Zapata, president of the National COE.
FEF requested 60% capacity
The Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) requested that this match be held on January 27, 2022 and play with a 60% capacity. That is, about 19 thousand people, which would be the same number of tickets that have already been sold since December 2021.
The Minister of Health, Ximena Garzón, indicated that Quito went from red to yellow within the epidemiological traffic light, which serves to measure the level of progress of the pandemic in each city of Ecuador, which makes it possible to expand the capacity.
For its part, the Mayor of the capital, that he January 18 issued measures for considering the city in ‘red alert’, pointed out that will also be pronounced on Monday. (AVV)
