This time it was the brand of beer Bavaria which it was placed on the chest of Colombian footballers. Like is logic, again FIFA He sanctioned with fines corresponding to the Colombian Federation.
HOLLAND, GERMANY AND SPAIN
In more modern times there have been several national teams have flirted with mainstream advertising their shirts. ING Netherlands, Germany Mercedes and Volkswagen after first or even SEAT Spain with Iberdrola or.
