Meanwhile, the president of the AFE, Ivan Hurtado, said today they give way to the strike “in order to see what will be the ruling of the Ecuadorian soccer’s governing body.”
“We will not allow so much abuse, so many lies, we hope that this lack of respect and lack of ethics is finished,” he said. And finally he said: “The strike of Ecuadorian the soccer players is a fact. ”
