GIVOVA bought the Venezuela shirts from the Decathlon store

Yesterday a friendly match was played between Venezuela, already in turmoil given the statements of technical commissioner Dudamel who expressed his willingness to resign given the political pressure received, and the Selection of Catalonia.
So far so good, or almost so. It was supposed to be a historic day for Catalonia which, despite not being recognized by FIFA, had the chance to play an important match by winning it for 3-1.

But what has further embarrassed the Venezuelan national team is that once the players arrived at the stadium, the vinotinto players had a nasty surprise: there were no kits to take the field. The only solution that the Venezuelan staff had was to buy them on the spot, otherwise the regular course of the game would have been at risk. The uniforms, in order to play - branded Quechua - were purchased in a Decathlon store near the stadium in Girona, the city where the friendly took place.
Decathlon told the episode on his Twitter profile.

After the game, Salomon Rondon, as well as the Venezuelan captain Tomas Rincon expressed all his anger with a post on his Instagram profile, accusing the technical sponsor of his National team, GIVOVA, and asking for respect for the nation and for all his teammates.

"I make my discontent with you public as a brand after this FIFA game that has just ended. First, with this cold temperature, you only give us a shirt and a shorts. Second, there are no sweaters to play with? Do you think that buy some and print them all? I demand the utmost respect for our national jersey and for every member of the team. This is shameful."

These are the words of Rincon that reveal bigger problems than the already serious episode that happened in Girona yesterday. He speaks of serious defaults on the part of GIVOVA, serious defaults by the Italian brand, already emerged during the SUB 20, during which the Vinotinto had taken the field with a complete faded, dishonorable for a proud people like the Latin American one. which for now has not issued statements.
