A former combatant reported that he was prevented from entering a field of the U20 World Cup for wearing Malvinas clothes

During a new day of the U-20 World Cup, a controversial situation occurred because the veteran of Malvinas, Héctor Naveda, denounced that he was expelled from the Bicentennial stadium of San Juan for wearing clothes that alluded to the islands. Then, when he said what happened, he showed his pain for the situation: “I felt humiliated, it hurt me for me and for my country, but even more it hurt for my grandson, since it was the first time we would share the experience of going to the court together.” In addition, he said that “this situation has made the country mobilize and make visible a situation that unfortunately occurs often. Once again a veteran had to be humiliated so that they would come to their senses and realize that they were acting wrong. After the repercussion that my case had, I was invited by the organization to witness the rest of the World Cup in the province, but I will not go because humiliation does not return.” He also added that he was surprised to receive the solidarity of different personalities, since, “indirectly, people from AFA sent me messages of apology. I thank you for the gesture, but what is done is done.” It should be noted that, in recent days, there was another controversy with FIFA because in the Malvinas Argentinas stadium in Mendoza plaques were used that covered the image of the islands with the aim of “avoiding” political slogans.
