At the national team farewell ceremony on June 4, 2026, James Rodríguez was recorded walking past Antonella Petro, the president's 17‑year‑old daughter, without stopping for a photo. The clip quickly spread on social networks, prompting a wave of virtual harassment and alleged threats directed at Rodríguez and his relatives.
Because the girl is the president's child, the incident acquired a political dimension. Security forces have placed the player’s family under protection, and the football federation issued a statement condemning the threats.
The controversy has ignited a nationwide debate ahead of the World Cup.
