In light of escalating tensions and protests in Chicago regarding immigration policies, the friendly soccer match between Argentina and Puerto Rico has been shifted to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A soccer match between Argentina and Puerto Rico, originally scheduled for next week in Chicago, has been relocated to Florida amid the immigration crackdown in the city, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The friendly match was supposed to be played on Oct. 13 at Soldier Field in Chicago but will now take place at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. An Argentine Football Association executive confirmed the move to the AP, citing unrest in Chicago as the primary reason. Protests against the immigration policies have escalated in recent days, prompting President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard to help restore order. The official requested anonymity as the relocation had not been publicly announced yet.}
