CRI听力:All Professional Football Games Suspended in Argentine
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has suspended all professional football games in the country after 21-year-old fourth division player Emanuel Ortega died on Thursday following a blow to the head he received during a game last week.
Ortega's death prompted the AFA to suspend all professional football matches that were scheduled for the upcoming weekend.
AFA president Luis Segura announced the decision.
"Our decision was to suspend the game date for the fourth division but coincidentally I already had a meeting scheduled with Sergio Marchi at 10 in the morning here and we were analyzing the situation, I consulted with several presidents [from football clubs] and we agreed to reschedule all divisions and that there would be no soccer this weekend."
The fatal injury occurred when Emanuel Ortega collided into a cement wall as he fought to gain possession of the ball during a home match against Juventud Unida on May 4.
