Unbelievable. Football players in Nicaragua playing mask and glove football

At a time when over 90% of countries have stopped their championships due to emergency from the Cavid-19 pandemic, football continues to be played in Nicaragua, even doing so in a very special way.

In the state of America- Central footballers are forced to go down to the field even playing with masks on their faces and surgical gloves on their hands. In this photo, Kakikue Diriangen football players are ahead of the launch of the match against Deportivo Okotal. An incredible situation, as the Uruguayn assailant, Bernardo Laureiro, describes during an interview for “Mundo Deportivo” (author of the winning goal 2-0).

We have to play and do it, taking all security measures and wearing the mask during the match, even though something like that is impossible. Here in Nicaragua, there are few cases at the moment and the government has guaranteed that there are all conditions to play.

And we'll do it until they tell us otherwise. Of course, by taking all precautions: We change at home, we wash at home, and we keep our distance during training. But that's not how the field works. Football is a” crash game, Laureiro said.
