The Argentinian Football Association announced Friday's matches have been suspended after an assassination attempt on the country's vice president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, on Thursday night.
ESPN's Alex Kirkland reported the decision was made in coordination with President Alberto Fernández declaring Friday a national holiday in support of the vice president.
"The Argentinian Football Association expresses its strongest repudiation of what happened with vice president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner," the AFA said in a statement. "We call on society as a whole, warning that violence of any kind is never the solution."
Fernando Andre Sabag Montiel, a 35-year-old Brazilian national, was arrested Thursday after aiming a gun that failed to discharge at Fernández de Kirchner, per CNN.
