  • The ANFP postponed the Liga de Primera match between Universidad de Concepción and Huachipato, originally scheduled for Sunday, September 13, at Ester Roa Stadium.
  • The Biobío Rally, a World Rally Championship event taking place the same weekend, created a police staffing shortage for the football match.
  • The game will be rescheduled, but no new date has been set.

The match between Universidad de Concepción and Huachipato will not go ahead as planned after authorities postponed it because of a police shortage linked to the Biobío Rally.

The Chilean football federation, ANFP, announced through the official Campeonato Chileno website that the Round 23 fixture had been scheduled for Sunday, September 13, at 12:30 p.m. at Ester Roa Stadium.

The decision came from the Presidential Delegation of Biobío. The Biobío Rally, a World Rally Championship round, will also take place this weekend, requiring a security operation that left insufficient police personnel available for the football match.

The fixture will be rescheduled at a later date, but authorities have not yet announced when it will be played.
