Why Was Camavinga ‘Forced’ to Delete This Picture After Napoli Win?
Camavinga’s Instagram Snaps Spark Controversy: Nike-Adidas Battle Forces Deletion
After Real Madrid’s impressive 4-2 victory against Napoli, Eduardo Camavinga captured the celebratory moment by taking pictures of each player donning his distinctive glasses. The Frenchman later shared a collage on Instagram, only to delete it shortly after.
The surprising move, as reported by Relevo’s Jorge Picon, stems from the ongoing rivalry between sportswear giants Nike and Adidas. Camavinga, a representative of Nike, featured players in the picture who have endorsement deals with Adidas. Some athletes’ contracts include clauses prohibiting them from promoting rival brands.
The post garnered nearly one million ‘likes,’ showcasing the widespread interest in the behind-the-scenes glimpses of Real Madrid’s victory. However, due to the conflicting brand affiliations, the post now exists only as archived material, illustrating the complexities that arise in the world of football and endorsement deals.
