reminded the AFA of article three of the Fifa statutes which prohibits any
kind of discrimination against a country, private person or group of people
on account of ethnic origin, gender, language, religion, politics or any
other reason. A potential change of name of the Liga de Primera Division
would clearly infringe the above mentioned article.”

having an image of the disputed islands woven into their first-team strip.
