The red alert for the heat wave that is affecting a large part of the Argentine Republic also affects football, which has not changed most of the matches scheduled in the evening for the Professional League date and the rest of the categories. For this reason, this Sunday, a logical decision directly affected the fans who intend to go, at least, to the stadiums of racing AND River: small plastic bottles with drinks for hydration will be allowed to enter.
The management of the Avellanese club has announced this exceptional measure in agreement with the Agency for the prevention against violence in sport (Aprevide) so that its fans can alleviate the effects of the intense heat, which at the time of the match (17:00) , It could reach 40 degrees Celsius.
The club clarified in a statement that “Anyone who uses them for other purposes, such as throwing them on the field, will be filmed and the right of admission will be enforced afterwards”.
Some time later the same situation was announced by River, although in agreement with the Federal Capital Security Committee.
The decision was made known after the League’s refusal to ask for the time change was unofficially communicated in the morning, unlike what happened with Rosario Central-Unionwho were due to play again this Sunday at 17:00, but will finally do so at night due to a request made last Thursday by the local club.
