However, fans were surprised because neither of the two games will be played on Sunday, the most traditional day for soccer. What happened?
Fernando Jaramillo, president of Dimayor, confirmed the real reasons for both matches in the League I final to be scheduled on Saturdays and not Sundays.
consulted by TIMEJaramillo assured that on Sunday the 9th, the National Police had commitments that did not allow them to provide security service at the game in Bucaramanga.
On Sunday, June 16, Dimayor decided not to schedule the second leg due to the celebration of Father’s Day, an important date for the country’s commerce.
