According to a local media in Uruguay, a 24-year-old football fan was shot dead on Sunday in Montevideo while celebrating Nacional’s victory in the Uruguayan championship. The young man was shot during festivities near the club’s headquarters in the capital.
Police said they are yet to release an official report. Meanwhile, Nacional condemned the shooting on Twitter, saying, "Nacional condemns a new act of violence, another unjustifiable murder in the frame of Uruguayan football.
"The team called on all its supporters to remain calm and responsible even in the midst of pain. It’s no longer a day to celebrate, all of Nacional embraces as a family."
Nacional won the Uruguayan 2019 football championship Sunday by defeating Penarol 1-0.
