The Mexican national football team has returned luxury Rolex watches, valued at US$1 million (RM4.2 million), received as gifts before their upcoming World Cup match against England. The players proactively returned the watches due to concerns that accepting them could be a breach of tournament regulations regarding betting. Tournament rules strictly prohibit players from receiving gifts that could potentially influence the outcome of matches or create conflicts of interest. The move aims to avoid any accusations of impropriety or potential sanctions from FIFA. This preemptive action demonstrates the team’s commitment to fair play and adherence to the World Cup’s ethical guidelines. The decision was made prior to Sunday’s highly anticipated clash with England, ensuring the team can focus solely on the competition.
