Who is the character that replaced RCD Mallorca's main sponsor?
The club played against FC Barcelona with GELPIYO, the mascot of the Japanese company Taica, featured on their chest.
The unusual move was a joint idea with Alpha Gel, one of the multinational's brands and the club's main sponsor. According to the Mallorcan team's press, the initiative aimed to "celebrate the start of the season with an original touch to surprise the fans."
The customized jersey featuring Gelpiyo's image went on sale in Spain and Japan through the club's official store.
