South American cup stays in Colombia

The South American Football Confederation (CSF) has again denied reports that it is planning to change the venue of the coming Copa America tournament because of continuing bomb attacks in Colombia.

A spokesman for the CSF denied renewed media speculation in Colombia that the organisation was considering taking the July championships to Mexico.

In the past two weeks, more than 10 people have been killed in bomb attacks in Colombia's biggest cities, where some of the Copa America matches are due to be held.
