Luis Suarez has asked for peace after recent reports of football violence in his country.
Uruguayan football was suspended on Sunday after two officials, including a woman, were attacked by players and spectators during an under-19 game between hosts Platense and Basanez on Saturday in Montevideo.
The incident led to the Uruguay Football Referees’ Association (AUDAF) putting a stop to football until further notice.
Barcelona star Suarez was not happy with the attack and posted a photograph on his Twitter account of the Uruguay flag with the message: “No more violence in football.”
He added: “Let’s live a football in peace and without violence, enjoying this beautiful sport in our country. Let’s respect everyone.”
