Colombia’s Atletico Nacional on Tuesday called on the South American soccer association to award the Copa Sudamericana championship to Brazil’s Chapecoense after almost all the squad was killed in a plane crash near Medellin.
哥倫比亞足球隊「國民競技」週二要求南美足球總會，將南美盃冠軍頒發給因一架包機在美德殷附近失事而幾乎全隊喪生的巴西球隊「查比高恩斯」。
Chapecoense were due to face off against Medellin’s Atletico Nacional on Wednesday in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final, South America’s Europa League equivalent, before their plane carrying a travelling party of ’’22 players, 28 companions and technical staff, 22 journalists and nine crew members’’ crashed on the outskirts of the city.
查比高恩斯隊原訂週三與國民競技隊舉行南美盃決賽第一場，南美盃為歐洲盃同級賽事，但該隊包機上的「22名球員、28名隨行與訓練員、22名記者及9名職員」，於美德殷郊區墜機時罹難。
This has prompted Nacional to ask the governing body CONMEBOL to award the trophy to the Brazilian club as a mark of respect.
國民競技隊因此要求主管機構南美足總將獎盃追贈給巴西對手，做為尊敬的表徵。
The soccer body are yet to confirm if Nacional’s request will be granted but the players and staff of "Los Verdolagas" expect that the trophy will indeed be awarded to the tragically fated Brazilians.
南美足總尚未點頭答應國民競技隊的請求，但國民競技隊的球員和職員認為，南美盃獎盃將追頒給不幸罹難的巴西球隊。
In a further mark of respect, Nacional have asked their fans to assemble on Wednesday, at the original hour of the game, at Medellin’s Atanasio Giradot stadium dressed in white to pay homage to the 75 victims of the tragedy.
為進一步表示對查比高恩斯隊的敬意，國民競技隊邀請球迷在週三原訂比賽時間進入美德殷賽場吉拉爾體育中心時，穿著白衫，對75名罹難者致敬。
