One week before the beginning of the tournament, various protests began in Ecuador after the government announced an end to fuel subsidies as part of public spending cuts agreed with theIMF in return for a loan.[33] On 12 October 2019, two days into the tournament, none of the scheduled Group C and Group D matches were played due to security concerns caused by the protests.[34] The Ecuadorian government and leaders representing the Andean nation's indigenous peoples reached an agreement on 13 October 2019 to repeal the decree that eliminated fuel subsidies.[35] CONMEBOL later announced the competition would be resumed on 14 October 2019 with a modified schedule.[36]
Finally, the group stage was extended from 18 to 19 October, the quarter-finals were rescheduled from 20 and 21 to 21 and 22 October, semi-finals from 23 and 24 to 24 and 25 October and the final and third place match from 27 to 28 October.[3]
Four matches were played on opening day but CONMEBOL suspended the four games scheduled for 12 October 2019 due to security concerns caused by a civil unrest.[34] CONMEBOL later announced the competition would be resumed on 14 October 2017 with a modified schedule.[36]
