In the run-up to the grand final of Colombian soccer, the fervor for Junior de Barranquilla has gone beyond the stadiums to settle in the most unexpected places.

A video that has gone viral on social networks shows a group of Military Police soldiers, aboard an official transport truck, spreading joy with songs and harangues in honor of the “shark” team.

This morale booster comes at the right time for a team looking to embroider a new Christmas star on its shield.

The uniformed men, who dedicate their lives to protecting the well-being of citizens, took advantage of a brief moment of relaxation before beginning their operational tasks to demonstrate that the feeling for the currambero cadre knows no ranks or uniforms.

Amid applause and enviable coordination, the military transformed the cold interior of the vehicle into a small tribune of encouragement, moving the entire soccer country with the genuine happiness they project.

The expectation grows as the last 90 minutes of the tournament approach, where Junior will define his destiny on the field.

The group of soldiers, declared die-hard fans of the Barranquilla team, look forward to celebrating the title tonight.

Although their duties to the country are the priority, the emotion they showed in the video makes it clear that their hearts will be in the stadium with the players.

It is still unknown if this group of brave people will be able to tune in to the match live due to their security commitments.

However, in Barranquilla and the rest of the country it is said that, somehow, they will manage to keep an eye on the result.

With this “unexpected reinforcement”, the red and white fans feel more united than ever, demonstrating that passion for football is the language that unites all Colombians.
