For the second year running, Unión ignored Colón's anniversary | OneFootball

On May 5, Colón was once again draped in red and black. In its 121 years of existence, the Sabalero put on a real celebration at its headquarters, with an impressive turnout that reflected the loyalty of its people. A love that knows no divisions, results, or circumstances, and remains untouched over time.

However, in the midst of the celebrations, there was one detail that quickly caught the fans’ attention: the absence of a greeting from Unión. Their crosstown rival chose silence, a stance that no longer comes as a surprise, but still causes a stir.

A gesture that is becoming a pattern between Colón and Unión

This was not an isolated incident. In 2025, the Tatengue also did not send an official message for the red-and-black club’s anniversary, and in 2026 it repeated that behavior. Everything suggests it could be a decision maintained over time.

The situation contrasts with what happened last April 15, when Colón did publicly greet Unión on its birthday. That interaction sparked a nice and passionate exchange on social media, celebrated by many as a sign of coexistence within Santa Fe’s historic rivalry.

While Colón poured all its energy into celebrating with its people, Unión focused its posts on the anniversary of IPEI, leaving aside any mention of the Sabalero. A choice that, although institutionally valid, did not go unnoticed in the local football world.
