Following the plane crash, which killed almost all the Chapecoense football club’s squad, Paraguayan side Club Libertad has offered their entire squad to the club when they eventually return to the competition.
The Club Libertad made the promise in a statement on its website on Thursday.
The Brazilian side were on their way to play in the final of the Copa – South America’s equivalent of the Europa League – when their plane came down in Colombia.
About eighty one passengers were travelling on Flight AMI2933 to take part in the club’s first ever Copa Sudamericana final in Medellin, Colombia when the plane crashed, killing members of the squad, crew and Journalists.
The statement reads, “The directives of Club Libertad share with profound pain their condolences for the tragedy involving our brother club Chapecoense and put their first-team players at Chapecoense’s disposal for any sporting event, in homage to the fallen players, with such a brilliant career at both national and international level.”
Libertad were knocked out of the Copa Sudamericana earlier this season by Chapecoense.
