Surprise Departure of Giannina Lattanzio and the Implications for América de Cali Femenino in the Copa Libertadores 2023

The foregoing has caused Lucas González to be in the eye of critics and put his future at the club in suspense, despite having the full support of the leadership.

Now, if it rains on the men’s side, it doesn’t clear up on the women’s side. In the last hours of this Friday, the club announced a surprise departure due to ‘personal problems’. The curious thing about the fact is that this departure has to do with a recent signing that, due to what has been mentioned, had to leave.

This is the Italian Giannina Lattanzio, who did not have much prominence in the team and although the context of her reasons is unknown, today she left the Colombian club after a few weeks in the country. The club made it official through its social networks.

This exit is taken by surprise thinking about the maximum objective of the women’s squad in the remainder of this 2023: the Copa Libertadores de América.

Before the Libertadores, the scarlets will travel to Spain to play the Womens Cup, a tournament in which they will face important teams such as Atlético de Madrid, Milan and River Plate.

These are the cities that will host the Women’s Copa Libertadores

In an announcement made last Friday, August 11 by the Conmebol Competitions Department, the two host cities that will host the prestigious Women’s Conmebol Libertadores in its 2023 edition, on Colombian soil, have been revealed. Those chosen to give life to the most important continental tournament for women’s clubs in the region are Bogotá and Cali.

The tournament, which will bring together 16 competing teams, will see the four groups divided into an equal distribution: two groups will find their home in the capital of Valle del Cauca, while the other two will find their place in the capital of the Republic.

Thus, the El Campín stadium will not be the setting for the Copa Libertadores. It is important to note that the emblematic venue shared by Millonarios and Independiente Santa Fe had been practically ruled out since May, due to the programming of a concert in the capital’s epicenter the day before the start of the tournament.

The renowned Canadian singer The Weeknd has scheduled his performance for October 4 and Conmebol required the availability of the stadium from September 25.

From then on, the modality of direct elimination will begin until reaching the grand final, whose venue is yet to be defined between Pascual and the Techo stadium.
