Former Miss Universe Paulina Vega Dieppa is in the midst of a controversy in her native Colombia after she posed in the national team jersey released last week.

The model was chosen by the Adidas brand to announce the design with which the coffee team will play the World Cup in Russia next June.

The controversy arose when the players of the women's team wondered why one of them had not been chosen to announce the new sweatshirt, particularly when in the case of the men's team, the players James Rodríguez and Juan Cuadrado had been selected to make the presentation.

Several Colombian athletes and women criticized Adidas's decision to use a former beauty queen as a model to display the kit of the new official jersey of the Colombian soccer team.

The person in charge of raising the voice for the women's team was Vanessa Córdoba, daughter of the ex-goalkeeper Oscar Córdoba and player of the Santa Fe team, who wrote on Twitter her outrage at the supposed rebuff of the brand towards the female players.

"So far I have not seen any player [A] of the Colombian team showing the new Adidas shirt. Do you?”He wrote.

He also stressed that he has nothing against the also actress and television presenter. "I also appreciate that a successful woman was given the t-shirt to be influential for advertising purposes."

"I understand by advertising matter they prefer to give it to Paulina Vega but out of respect and merit THE PLAYERS count too."
