It seems that cooperation and the struggle to challenge the consequences of the Coruna virus in Argentina will turn into a Super Classico between the poles of Argentine soccer, Boca Juniors and River Plate during the coming period.
In recent days, Boca Juniors Eduardo Salvio and River Plate defender Lucas Martinez have joined the “Your Shirt is Your Joy” campaign, which aims to turn players’ shirts into gags to combat the spread of Corona.
These masks, made from the players’ shirts, will be donated to health workers in the country, as a simple contribution from campaign participants in fighting the outbreak of the new Corona virus.
“This muzzle is part of my shirt, I wore it in an important match. It was recycled to make the muzzle, and there are 12 masks from this shirt,” wrote Salvio and Martinez via their accounts on the Instagram website.
This initiative may contribute to removing the fanaticism that exists between the fans of the Argentine poles, which appears strongly in the famous Super Classico match that takes place between them, which is widely followed throughout the world.
The initiative was adopted by the “Club Media Agency” marketing agency, which invited other players from the Argentine league to join it.
It is reported that social media has witnessed the spread of some masks bearing the slogans of several clubs or players’ names.
American experience
The beginning of the use of club shirts and logos in the manufacture of gags from the American Basketball League, which announced mid-April, the launch of a line to produce masks bearing the logo of the competition and its affiliated clubs.
The NBA indicated that the price of one muzzle would be 15 US dollars, and if 3 gags were obtained, it would be 25 dollars.

Bayern is ahead of everyone
The German club Bayern Munich was the first in this regard in the field of football for feet, as it decided to manufacture gags from the club’s scarves, and allocate the proceeds of its sale in favor of charities facing the spread of Corona.
The prices of the masks varied from 5 to 14 euros, and they were displayed on the official store of the Bavarian Club, and after less than 24 hours had passed, the club announced the sale of more than 100,000 masks, to continue to produce its masks until now naturally.
Several clubs have followed the same approach, but individually, including the Wycombe Wanderers of England, the Austrian Rapid Vienna, Fortuna Dusseldorf and St. Pauli of Germany, and all announced that the proceeds they will receive from the sale of masks bearing their logos will go to fight the virus.
