The captain of the Jamaican national football team was afraid to accept a gift presented by the opponents before the match with the New Caledonia team. He didn't want to take the gift, thinking that there were spirits inside the traditional carved spire.
Idman.Biz reports that it was only after the intervention of the head referee that it was possible to convince the captain that the object was safe.
This tip, called "flèche faîtière", is a traditional symbol installed on the roofs of island houses.
It is noted that this object is associated with the spirits of ancestors and symbolizes the power of local leaders over their subjects. Even this spire is reflected on the national flag of New Caledonia.
The final score of the match proved that there was no "magic". Jamaica won against its opponent with a score of 1:0.
