Brazilian football club "Chapecoense" has presented its new jersey in the colors of Turin as a gesture to the Italian club "Torino".
İdman.Biz reports that both clubs have experienced severe plane crashes in their history, and these tragedies have brought them closer together years later.
"Torino's" team perished in a plane crash in 1949. "Chapecoense" lost a large part of its main squad in a plane crash in Colombia in 2016.
This shared pain has led to a friendship between the two clubs. Five years ago, Turin club made a green jersey in honor of "Chapecoense". Now, the Brazilian club has responded with a dark red kit.
Thus, football this time played a unifying role not on results and titles, but on memory and respect.
