The Estadio Olímpico del Luz in Sogamoso where Radamel Falcao scored his first professional goal Lanceros Boyacá. You'll be surprised to read that the stadium is about to be demolished.

Seriously thinking about going to the Flamengo v Barcelona game on Wednesday, need to be double vaccinated and provide a negative PCR test...
 
Not really Copa Libertadores but CONCACAF:

Yesterday Ronnie Brunswijk of Inter Moentgotapoe (Suriname) played a game.

- He is 60
- He is the president of the club
- He is the captain
- The stadium has his name
- He is the vice-president of Suriname

Also he went into the locker room of the opposition team after the game to hand out loads of cash:


Some more info about him:

  • He hasn't played in a sanctioned match for about 10 years .
  • He has fathered at least 50 children, including his son Damian who started the match at striker.
  • After being hospitalized with COVID-19, he donated 3 cars to hospital nurses who had no transportation.
  • In June 2012, he was suspended for 1 year because he behaved violently towards the referee and a player in football match
  • The disciplinary committee of the Surinamese Football Association suspended him for five years because he threatened some players with a handgun during a match in 2005, but the suspension was retracted due to lack of evidence.
  • In 2007, he beat up a member of the Surinamese legislature during an event which was broadcast on live television.
  • In 1980, he served as the personal bodyguard of Dési Bouterse and helped overthrew the government in a military coup.
  • In 1985, after being discharged, he formed a rebel guerilla military group and commanded the group against Bouterse's forces in a 6-year-long civil war.
  • He has remained active in politics since the civil war and was elected Vice President in an uncontested election in 2020.
  • He will most likely be unable to play in the return leg in Honduras, as he is a convicted bank robber, drug trafficker, and, most importantly, an internationally wanted fugitive with an active Interpol arrest warrant.

Thanks for posting as I'd never heard of him before - don't know why as it's a bit of an understatement to say he is quite a character. :))
