As Colombia heads toward a high-stakes presidential runoff this coming Sunday, left-wing Senator Iván Cepeda and far-right millionaire lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella have ramped up efforts to reach the handful of voters that could tip the balance.

One ubiquitous symbol on both sides of the fight is the national soccer jersey. De la Espriella, like Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro before him, has made the shirt his signature look in recent weeks, in a bid to appeal to a popular right-wing base. Critics argued that the national team’s jersey belongs to all Colombians and shouldn’t be appropriated by any one political movement.

The Colombian Football Federation responded by insisting that it, and the national team, should stay outside politics. The dispute became so intense that a judge in the capital, Bogotá, ordered de la Espriella to stop using the national team’s official shirt in campaign activities. Brushing off the ruling, his rival Cepeda’s supporters also began wearing the yellow jersey, reclaiming the shirt as their own.
