River Plate is scheduled to travel to Bogotá this Tuesday to face Independiente Santa Fe in a Copa Sudamericana Round of 16 match. The game is set for Wednesday, but its execution is in question due to the earthquake that has affected Colombia in recent days.

The Colombian league has issued a statement regarding the situation, indicating that "football can wait," suggesting a possible suspension of the sporting event until the security situation in the country is assessed.

Despite the uncertainty, River Plate is in preparation for the trip, hoping decisions will be made regarding the holding of the match.
