The French newspaper L'Équipe has raised alarm after revealing that international footballer Jaminton Campaz has received serious death threats. 

Given the seriousness of the situation, the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) issued an official statement categorically rejecting these attacks. The organization strongly condemned any intimidation directed at the player and his family circle.

The federation emphasized that no athlete or member of their entourage should be subjected to violence for representing their country. The body stressed the need to safeguard athletes’ safety and well-being in the sporting arena.

Likewise, the FCF formally asked the Prosecutor’s Office to urgently speed up the necessary investigations. The main objective is to identify, prosecute, and impose severe penalties on those responsible for these criminal acts.

All of this comes after he missed a very clear chance in extra time, which sent the match to penalties and ended with Colombia being eliminated by Switzerland.
