Fuzina's name withheld in Chilean league
After Jumimar Dias, the goalkeeper for Cape Verde's national team and widely known as "Fozinia," joined the Chilean club Colo-Colo, he will be required to remove his sports nickname from his jersey due to strict Chilean regulations that focus on the player's personal identity on clothing. The rules mandate that the surname, whether from the father's or mother's side, must be displayed on the back of the jersey, and nicknames or aliases are not permitted. Violating these regulations could result in a fine of approximately 740 euros. The club's management is seeking an exceptional permit from the regulatory committee to allow him to wear the name "Fozinia," which has become a global trademark; otherwise, he will be obliged to play under his real name. This situation comes at a time when the player has achieved great success in the 2026 World Cup, gaining widespread fame through his performance and engaging social media presence, where his followers increased from 50,000 to over 30 million.
