The South American qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, which was scheduled to play in March have been postponed amidst concern over the Covid-19 pandemic and quarantine restrictions, announces South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL).
The confederation in a statement said that, "The decision is due to the impossibility of counting on all the South American players.”
The confederation further added that, "FIFA will analyse the rescheduling of the round in coordination with CONMEBOL and the members associations."
The scheduled matches of the next two rounds of World Cup qualifiers in South America were to take place on March 25, 26 and 30. Among the matches affected are Brazil's games against Argentina.
Meanwhile, Liverpool and Manchester City will not allow their players to travel to international matches this month if they have to quarantine on their return.
