ASUNCION, April 13 (Reuters) - Chinese company Sinovac Biotech Ltd is to donate 50,000 doses of its COVID-19 vaccine to the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) to inoculate players, the president of the soccer body said on Tuesday. Alejandro Dominguez said the immunization “will be focused on the principal squads of South American professional (teams) in top divisions, both male and female. “This is the best news the South American football family could receive,” he added. The two main club competitions, the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana, are underway and involve significant travel across a massive continent. Speaking to CONMEBOL delegates in Paraguay, Dominguez said he hoped fans would be allowed in to watch Copa America matches.
