Have you ever heard of the “Buenos Aires Effect”? It refers to the increase in violence in football matches that occurs when Argentine and Colombian teams face off. Well, it seems that Stadium Security (Estadio Seguro) might be taking this theory seriously, as they have allegedly requested the cancellation of the friendly matches that Universidad de Chile and Colo-Colo were supposed to play against Deportivo Cali. According to sources, the organization claims that it can’t guarantee the safety of the fans or the players due to the high risk of violence. This decision has sparked controversy and criticism amongst football fans and players, as they see it as an excessive reaction and an attack on the freedom of sporting events. However, it’s worth noting that Stadium Security has a history of taking extreme measures, such as prohibiting fans from entering with musical instruments or flags, in order to avoid potential incidents. What do you think about this decision? Is it a necessary precaution or an overreaction? Let us know in the comments below.
