AFA brings Nahuel Gallo home after 18 months in Venezuela | OneFootball

Argentinian gendarme Nahuel Gallo was released after being held captive for 448 days by the Chavista regime in Venezuela.

The first corporal left El Rodeo 1 prison, where he had been held for 15 months. His wife confirmed the news through a post on social media: “He is flying to Argentina,” and the ARGENTINE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION (AFA) announced that they brought him back to the country with these posts:

We express our sincerest gratitude to the President of Venezuela, Mrs. Delcy Rodríguez, for her sensitivity and willingness to address this situation, demonstrating that sport can also be an effective bridge for understanding and cooperation in a humanitarian action of this magnitude, stated the AFA on its official website.

Likewise, we acknowledge the Venezuelan Football Federation (FVF) for facilitating the contact that made this rapprochement possible, reaffirming that the ties built through football can positively contribute to the well-being of our nations, it added.
