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

On May 5, Colón was once again dressed in red and black. In its 121 years of existence, the Sabalero put on a true celebration at its headquarters, with an impressive turnout that reflected the loyalty of its people. A love that knows nothing of divisions, results, or circumstances, and that remains intact as time goes by.

However, in the middle of the celebrations, there was one detail that quickly became a talking point among the fans: the absence of a greeting from Unión. Their archrival chose silence, a stance that is no longer surprising, but still causes reactions.

A gesture that is already becoming a trend between Colón and Unión

This is not an isolated incident. In 2025, the Tate had also not sent an official message for the red-and-black club’s anniversary, and in 2026 it repeated the same behavior. Everything suggests it could be a decision maintained over time.

The situation contrasts with what happened on 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 the historic rivalry in Santa Fe.

While Colón put 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, while valid from an institutional standpoint, did not go unnoticed in the local football world.
