Brazilian team Chapecoense are to play on 25 January - two months after plane crash

Chapecoense's first game since the majority of their squad died in a plane crash will be played on 25 January. An official at the Brazilian club told AFP the team are scheduled to play International de Lage at home in a state championship game. The team's plane ran out of fuel and crashed near Medellin, Colombia on 28 November, killing 71 people, including most of the players and management. Three players were among the six survivors, while nine did not travel. Chapecoense were travelling to Medellin to play the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional, the biggest game in the club's history. They have since been awarded the title by South American football confederation Conmebol.
Two of the players who survived, defender Alan Ruschel and goalkeeper Jakson Follmann, who has had his leg amputated, returned to Brazil on Tuesday. The third, Neto, remains in hospital in Colombia.
