The scheduled match between Barcelona SC and Deportivo Cuenca for March 1 has officially been postponed due to Barcelona SC's participation in the Copa Libertadores. According to a statement from Deportivo Cuenca, this decision aligns with Article 28 of the Competition Regulations, which allows for the rescheduling of matches when a club must play an international fixture within 48 hours before or after a national league match. This regulation aims to accommodate clubs' participation in international tournaments organized by CONMEBOL.

Barcelona SC is set to face Brazilian club Botafogo on March 3 as part of the Copa Libertadores, creating a conflict with the originally planned Liga Ecuabet match. In light of this, Deportivo Cuenca agreed to the postponement, highlighting the importance of enabling teams to participate in international competitions without the additional strain of overlapping domestic fixtures.

Now, Deportivo Cuenca awaits confirmation from Liga Pro regarding the new date and time for the rescheduled match. This situation underscores the complexities that arise in league scheduling when clubs are involved in both domestic leagues and international tournaments, reflecting the broader implications for team planning and fan engagement in Ecuadorian football.
