Brazilian soccer club Cruzeiro wants to postpone this week’s Copa Libertadores match against Estudiantes because of the swine flu outbreak in Argentina. A spokesman for the club said on Monday that it made the request through Brazil’s soccer federation. The official said Cruzeiro wants the match postponed or moved to another location-in Argentina or another country where swine flu is not a threat. But the governing body of South American soccer-Conmebol-said Friday the match would go ahead. Cruzeiro said in a statement then that the club would abide by the decision. But Cruzeiro director of soccer operations Eduardo Maluf says he wants a guarantee from Brazilian and Argentine health officials over his players’ safety.
