Bolivia-Brazil at the Félix Capriles stadium is unfeasible due to operational issues

  Although the president of the Bolivian Football Federation (FBF), Fernando Costa, hinted that the match between Bolivia and Brazil, on March 29, could be played at the Félix Capriles stadium, there are several details that make this possibility unfeasible.

"Possibly the president's idea is what he has always expressed, to take the national team to different cities in the country. It can be done, but in the next qualifying process", assured the director of the marketing department of the FBF, José Claure, to Panamericano Deportivo.

The federation executive explained that changing the venue of the match against Brazil would imply a problem with the issue of subscribers, most of whom are in the city of La Paz.

Another problem is that in order to change the venue of a playoff match, different steps must be followed and a series of requirements must be fulfilled.

"First, the scenarios are presented to Conmebol, they are verified to obtain approval not only for the number of spectators, but for everything that corresponds to this type of tournament, such as lights, access to the sports field. We believe that an evaluation should still be made in the short term, since we are a little more than a month away from this new commitment of the national team", said Claure.

It is unfeasible to change the venue of the match against Brazil due to the operational and logistical aspects that are already underway for that match, since even the advance team of the Verdeamarela is already in La Paz, evaluating the hotels, the distances they will travel from the hotel to the stadium, in which part of the field of play they will warm up, among others.

Bs 6 million unsupported in the FBF

The audit of the financial statements of the Bolivian Football Federation (FBF) for the years 2020 and 2021 indicates that 6,395,800 bolivianos do not have backups, that is to say, with the documentation to establish their origin nor the discharges of the expenses made.

Delta Consult Limited carried out the audit and in its opinion, which is labeled as "qualified opinion", states that "we have not been able to satisfy ourselves on the reasonableness of the balances identified for 6,395,800 bolivianos, through other audit procedures because they do not have the documentation to support their origin, since they correspond to periods prior to 2015".
