Colombia’s soccer jersey isn’t just about sports. It’s become a symbol of political division

Colombia’s national soccer jersey has become a political symbol during the presidential election, with Abelardo de la Espriella’s supporters wearing it at rallies. Sen. Iván Cepeda criticized this use, calling it a theft of a national symbol. The situation mirrors Brazil, where former President Jair Bolsonaro’s supporters adopted the national jersey during his 2022 election.
