Actually, Brazil was not the only national team to wear a sponsor. Colombia also did the same in 1993, with Bavaria on the front of the jersey and Avianca on the back of the jersey, during the friendly matches against USA in Miami, Venezuela in Bogotá, Chile in Santiago and in Bogotá and France in Martinica, but after the USA 94 qualifier match against Ecuador, FIFA fined the Colombian Football Federation with $64.000, threatening the Colombian Federation also with an economical sanction and disaffiliation.
