There will be no more kissing the ball for good luck in South American soccer. Also, forget about exchanging jerseys — and even spitting or blowing noses on the field.
The governing body ofin the region has released a series of specific regulations amid the coronavirus pandemic to protect everyone’s health when the Copa Libertadores — the continent’s biggest club competition — eventually resumes.
Among the additions to the regulations is the prohibition for “players and officials to kiss the ball before, during and after the match.” They also won’t be allowed to spit or blow their noses while on the field or on the benches. Players and the coaching staff will be obligated to use individual water bottles during matches. The post-match interviews and news conferences with coaches and players can only happen with those involved wearing masks.
The Copa Libertadores — the South American equivalent of the Champions League — was suspended early in its group stage. The Copa Sudamericana had stopped after its first phase.
