NANTES, France (AP) – French club Nantes will pay tribute to late Argentine player Emiliano Sala by wearing a special blue and white shirt during Sunday's league game against Bordeaux.
Nantes, which traditionally plays in yellow and green, said Tuesday that the commemorative outfit is available for sale. All profits from the sales will be allocated to Sala's training clubs in Argentina.
''Because he dreamed of wearing Argentina's shirt, Nantes players will leave their usual yellow and green jersey for a white and blue tunic,'' Nantes said in a statement.
Sala was killed a year ago when the single-engine aircraft carrying him from Nantes to his new club in Cardiff crashed near the Channel Island of Guernsey on Jan.
