In the wake of post-match violence involving players and fans after the Uruguay vs Colombia game, CONMEBOL has released a belated official statement, strongly condemning any acts of violence that tarnish the public image of football.
The statement reads as follows:
CONMEBOL strongly condemns any violent behavior that is detrimental to football.
We have always carried out our work based on the belief that football can unite everyone through its positive values.
We do not tolerate any discriminatory or violent behavior, whether on or off the pitch.
We invite everyone to continue pouring all their passion into supporting their teams in the days ahead, making this a memorable event.
