An unfortunate news must be Uruguay in a moment of uncertainty. Franco Acosta, a 25-year-old player, is disappeared after he and his brother tried to swim the Arroyo Pando, a river running in the area of Canelones.

Local media reported that the national navy has deployed land and water media in search of the footballer. Acosta, who played for Fénix, Villarreal and the Uruguayan U-20 National Team in 2015, is currently a player for Atenas de San Carlos.

The navy reported this to 1.30 pm personnel of the Subprefecture of the City of the Coast were made aware of the disappearance of Acosta, who tried to swim across the stream in the company of his brother, who managed to come out on his own and ask for help.

Fast, the Sea Search and Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) has activated its search and rescue system, deploying personnel to the zone in conjunction with the prefecture of Canelones and the Marine Infantry Command. Support was also requested from the Diving and Rescue Group.
