Following a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that affected Colombia, the División Mayor del Fútbol Colombiano (Dimayor) decided to postpone all professional football activities, including the Primera A, Primera B, and Copa Colombia tournaments. The matches and related events, originally scheduled for earlier dates, have been rescheduled to take place on August 19.
In a separate political development reported concurrently from the same country, the Colombian Senate authorized former president Gustavo Petro to leave the country for a period of one year. The travel permission was granted following a rigorous debate between political supporters and opponents, ultimately passing with a vote of 73 in favor and 11 against.
