MEXICO RETURNS LUXURY WATCHES GIFTED BY YOUTUBER
Mexico's national football team has returned luxury watches gifted to the squad by a content creator, according to the Mexican football federation. The team made the decision because Fifa regulations prohibit players from accepting expensive gifts. Mexico face England in a match on Sunday night.
Fifa's rules on gifts to players form part of broader regulations governing conduct during international tournaments. The federation determined that accepting the watches would breach these requirements, prompting the return of the items. The watches were gifted by a YouTuber as a gesture to the squad.
Mexico's decision to return the gifts ensures the team remains in compliance with Fifa regulations ahead of their fixture against England. The federation has not specified the monetary value of the watches or disclosed further details about the content creator involved.
