This is the story of Ildefons Lima. You may remember him from two giveaways we have done with him. If you don’t, he is the captain of Andorra. He was about to become the second player to play international football across four decades.
He also has a Guiness world record for the longest international football career.
He's also Andorra's record appearance holder and goalscorer.
Basically, he's a legend.

However, in a story that has been highlighted by @danielstorey85, the Andorran football federation, @Fedandfut, have stopped him from playing because he criticised their safety protocols and said they didn't give them COVID tests before training games.
This is absolutely outrageous. We’re in the middle of a global pandemic. How can you ban someone for wanting people, his friends and team mates, to be safe?
This is why we’re starting this campaign. A football association can’t act like a dictatorship- especially to a player that has represented his country so admirably for so many years.
So, let’s get the hashtag #Justiceforilde trending, lets all tag the Andorran federation - @Fedandfut - and force them to retract their decision.
Remember...
“First they came for the Andorran captain, and I did nothing as I was not the Andorran captain”
