Nicolás Romero Ordeñana, a member of the Guayas Restaurant Association, indicates that it would be ridiculous and unreasonable to declare a holiday, national holiday or day off for a soccer match. “If the president (Guillermo Lasso) wanted to favor trade, the tourism and gastronomic sector, what should be eliminated is the curfew (measure in force in the provinces of Guayas, Esmeraldas and Santo Domingo due to the situation of insecurity)”.
In the previous World Cups in which matches were held in the afternoon, options were organized in bars and restaurants to watch the games, and in general, most celebrated when leaving their workdays while watching the repris. (YO)
