Nantes pays tribute to late Sala with special jersey
Print Edition
French club Nantes will pay tribute to late Argentine player Emiliano Sala by wearing a special blue and white shirt during Sunday鈥檚 league game against Bordeaux.
Nantes, which traditionally plays in yellow and green, said yesterday that the commemorative outfit is available for sale. All profits from the sales will be allocated to Sala鈥檚 training clubs in Argentina. 鈥淏ecause he dreamed of wearing Argentina鈥檚 shirt, Nantes players will leave their usual yellow and green jersey for a white and blue tunic,鈥 Nantes said. Sala was killed a year ago when the single-engine aircraft carrying him from Nantes to his new club in Cardiff City crashed near the Channel Island of Guernsey on January 21. Hours earlier, FIFA had received an online document from the Welsh soccer federation to complete transferring the player鈥檚 registration from France. Sala鈥檚 body was recovered from the wreckage two weeks later. Nantes said a picture of Sala will also be displayed in the center circle at Stade de La Beaujoire and a minute鈥檚 applause will be held in his memory. Since Sala鈥檚 death, Nantes and Cardiff have been involved in a dispute over transfer fee. Last year, Cardiff filed a court appeal seeking to overturn a FIFA order it must pay Nantes a 6-million euro (US$6.7 million) first payment for Sala. FIFA ruled in favor of Nantes and warned Cardiff it faces a transfer ban if it refuses to pay when the case is settled.
