Edson Alvarez was ready to make his Champions League debut at the hands of Ajax in this edition, but was surprised by a shocking ban from UEFA.
Edson Alvarez prepared all week to start his Champions League appearance with Ajax, but at UEFA they ended up ruining his preparation with an unusual ban in the preliminaries.
The Dutch team will start its journey in the top international competition in Europe with the intention of taking a place in the top places and move on to the classification.
However, in the last hours, the team coached by Erik Ten Hag received unusual news about the costumes that players will not be able to wear for the rest of the cup.
According to sports media, UEFA has demanded that the Dutch club remove the three birds from the alternative beach that the club has launched in recent weeks because they can only carry the club logo, trademark and the sports brand.
The design of the third shirt was done in homage to Bob Marley and the birds represent the song ‘Three Little Birds’, which is usually played at Ajax Stadium prior to the matches being played.
In addition, UEFA ended up explaining the reason in a statement: “UEFA sees this as a different expression from the club logo, logo clothing sponsor or sleeve sponsor. No other expressions are allowed.”
