INSANE! Mexican Soccer Club Forced to Wear $1 Billion Team’s Jersey as Original Kits Get Stolen

The soccer world is full of unbelievable stories. Sometimes they are full of action and sometimes they seem ripped right off from a Netflix show. They include fairy tales like Lionel Messi finally winning the 2022 World Cup as well as full-on drama stories like whatever is happening between Shakira and Pique.

The latest story is weird, but it shows that quick thinking can lead to the correct solution. There are a lot of things to take care of when you are handling the logistics of a soccer team. Things like accommodations, transportation, sports kits, dietary requirements, etc. are very important to have a smooth season.

This story is from Mexico—about a logistical nightmare that may leave many teams scratching their heads to find a solution. Something that recently transpired will make you believe that a creative mind can find a solution to any problem.

Fake soccer jersey in the match

The story is from Liga Premier de Mexico on 14th January 2023 where Leviathan FC showed up with a new jersey. What happened was that the team had all of their official kit stolen. They were without their kit mere hours before the match and they were scratching their heads to find a solution in this dire situation. If it was a tier 1 team, it would have been such an easy fix as they have kits in bulk. But, genius minds in Leviathan came up with an insane solution.

They somehow arranged a bootlegged version of the 2021 Inter Milan jersey. Although the improvisation was quite creative, these jerseys are very different. But it was either to forfeit the match or this. The team decided to pull this stunt off and played the whole match. This stroke of a genius, however, did not go unnoticed by the League and they decided to intervene.

DIVE DEEPER

According to the rules, any changes in the kit have to be informed and registered with the organizers. The kit Leviathan used in the match was not registered and the Mexican League ruled against them and they had to forfeit the match.

FIFA ruled against Mexico
