BOGOTÁ, Colombia – A controversy erupted in Colombia on Thursday after it was reported that James Rodríguez, captain of the national team for the 2026 World Cup, allegedly denied a photo to Antonella, the youngest daughter of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who presented the team with the national flag. During the event, which was not open to the press and was announced at the last minute, Colombian players took to a stage to receive a sombrero vueltiao gifted by President Petro, where most of the footballers appeared to be displeased. Antonella was alongside Petro, and when she greeted the 34-year-old Rodríguez, she asked him for a photo. However, he continued to greet others on stage and seemingly ignored her request. The incident did not go unnoticed, and on the social media platform X, Antonella and James Rodríguez became the second and third trending topics, respectively.
