Brazil will play Colombia in friendly for air crash victims (The Associated Press)
Brazil will play Colombia in a friendly match at the end of January to help victims of the air crash that killed most of the players, staff and directors of soccer club Chapecoense last week. Nineteen of Chapecoense's players were killed in the crash just outside Medellin, Colombia, as the Brazilian team headed to the first of two matches against Colombian club Atletico Nacional to determine the champion of the Copa Sudamericana - Latin America's No. 2 club tournament. A spokesman for the Brazilian football confederation says the venue will be decided by Chapecoense directors and that all the ticket office revenues will go to the families of the victims.
