The president of Atlético San Luis, the Spaniard Alberto Marrero, promised on Tuesday that his team's fans will have a safe stadium for the next matches, after the two-day battle.

Last Sunday in the San Luis-Querétaro match, the fans of both teams got into a massive fight in the stands and the local fans had to invade the field to protect themselves from violence.

"The fans will have a 100 percent safe stadium, so that they can enjoy a family show again. The measures we are going to take will help strengthen Mexican football and set a precedent. The club is working to prevent this situation from happening again. "he told EFE.

The confrontation of San Luis against Querétaro has a great rivalry due to the proximity of headquarters, in central Mexico and although President Marrero contemplated a high-risk party, he said that the violence was due to a certain sector of the tribune.

"Unfortunately, there is a minority that will provoke violence. We prepare this meeting since the opening of the opening calendar, the rivalry is not new, because there is history behind, but it is not a pretext, it is time for letters to be taken on the matter and that these people who mess soccer don't do it again. "

Under the circumstances, the Spanish Marrero, assumes guilt as head of the San Luis project and acknowledges that there was a failure to place visiting fans of Querétaro in a vulnerable area for many people.

"We all fail together, but as president of San Luis, I am responsible for what happened. We should not allow this pitched battle to unfold in this way, throwing objects; it was not what we planned in terms of operation," he said.

This Tuesday, Alberto Marrero had a videoconference with executives of Atlético de Madrid, the majority partner of the Mexican team, who wanted to know the position of San Luis after the violent events.

"We cannot allow that minority to dirty the image of Mexican football, Atlético de Madrid and Atlético de San Luis. Children have to enjoy their heroes and their football team. We will accept the sanctions that correspond to us," he concluded.

A fight between the ultras of Atlético San Luis, Mexico's subsidiary of Atlético de Madrid, and the Gallos Blancos de Querétaro, forced the suspension of the match between both teams for day 14 of the Mexican Football League, after fans , in their attempt to escape the aggressions, they invaded the field where the duel was disputed.

The 83rd minute of Querétaro's victory was 2-0 as a visitor when the referee temporarily suspended the match. By then, dozens of fans had used the emergency stairs that connect the stands to the playing field to escape the blows and protect themselves from objects thrown between rival bars.

After the suspension, the players and the arbitration corps withdrew from the lawn of the Alfonso Lastras Stadium in San Luis Potosí, although before the White Roosters players could do so, some supporters of the local team swelled them with insults.

Terrified families also went down to the playing field after the brawl in one of the stadium's headwaters, where a fence and security personnel separated the hobbies of both teams. However, and despite this, both hobbies found a way to deal with blows and also throwing objects.

“The BBVA MX LEAGUE informs that, for safety and to safeguard the integrity of fans and players, the match between Atlético de San Luis and Querétaro is suspended at the Alfonso Lastras Stadium due to the lack of guarantees to continue said commitment,” said the Organization in social networks.
