After violent clashes between players and fans following the match between Uruguay and Colombia, CONMEBOL has released a belated official statement, strongly condemning any act of violence that goes against the public image of the sport.
The statement reads:
CONMEBOL strongly condemns any act of violence that goes against the sport of football.
We have always worked based on the idea that football unites everyone through its positive values.
We do not allow any discriminatory or violent acts on or off the pitch.
We invite everyone to continue to pour their passion into supporting their teams in the days to come, enjoying this unforgettable event.
