FC Nantes will pay a new tribute to Emiliano Sala, one year after the tragic disappearance of the player in a plane crash. The canaries chose the match of January 26 at Beaujoire against Bordeaux - the first club of Sala in France - to celebrate the memory of the former Nantes player. "The supporters and the Club as a whole will pay tribute to the memory of Emiliano Sala," said the FCN on its website.
On this occasion, the players will wear a jersey inspired by Argentina, "because [Sala] dreamed of Albiceleste". This will be announced on Tuesday and the profits from its sale will be fully transferred to its training clubs, Club San Martín de Progreso and the Proyecto Crecer.
