In this way the Opening would take place with 16 days to be played Saturday-Sunday and only There will be two dates left to play between Wednesday and Thursday.
“The same league established that you can play Wednesday or Thursday respecting the margin of 72 hours for the recovery of the players. The format is being developed like this”, said Wilfredo Guzmán in an interview for the Cinco Deportivo program.
This change joins the elimination of the privilege of the clubs where they could demand rescheduling of their games in case of having more than four players called up to the national team.
