The dictatorship in Uruguay, in power between 1973 and 1985, caused 197 desaparecidos and between 6,000 and 15,000 prisoners (67 of whom were children), in a country of less than 3 million inhabitants: this means one political prisoner for every 450 inhabitants.

The controversy also spread to Peñarol, Nacional's historic rival. On Sunday, their players also wore the jerseys, but in this case the club's president, Ignacio Ruglio, defended their choice.

In addition, Nacional fans posed again with the initiative's signs and shirts, recalling that four of the club's supporters ended up on the list of desaparecidos.

Even the female players of Nacional, in agreement with their male colleagues, wanted to wear the shirts to remember the crimes of the regime.

This caused protests by Nacional fans, in particular the Bolso Antifascista group, which had also asked for truth and justice for the desaparecidos during the last round of the championship.

This initiative, however, unexpectedly generated controversy in the country: the board of Nacional issued a statement in which it said that the players had worn the shirts without obtaining authorization from the club.

"I feel proud to say that I am a role model for many little girls, but I also believe that we are an inspiration for many little boys. Just as I had male football inspirations when I was little, I think it is important for boys to have female role models."

The striker had been made to train alone and not called up for the next match. In the last 4 games of the season he had then been kept on the bench twice and had come on as a substitute twice, but playing only a few minutes.

In September 2024, before the conviction, the local press was already reporting that Liguori was asking for a higher salary to renew, and this was slowing down negotiations.

However, it does not seem that his legal situation has anything to do with the failure to renew. Padova had continued to play him, and a good part of the fans had sided with him.

Last October, in fact, Liguori was sentenced in the first instance to 3 years and 4 months in prison for a rape that took place in the summer of 2018, on a girl who was 14 at the time (he was 19 instead).

Together with some colleagues he had created the Al Haddaf football school in his city. The war had forced them to interrupt the activity, but in the last few months they had managed to restart it, tracking down their surviving young players in the refugee camp of Deir al Balah.
