Shock in Monaco: Falcao "smuggled" for two years?

Information came from his homeland, Colombia, that he was born in 1984, not 1986 as stated in his documents. If those statements are correct, Falcao is 29 years old today, not 27

A cloud of doubt hung over Monaco when the media announced that the first star of the team, Radamel Falcao, who recently arrived from Atlético for 60 million euros, is two years older than what is written in his documents!?

Namely, information arrived from his homeland, Colombia, that he was born in 1984, not 1986 as stated in his documents. If those statements are correct, Falcao is 29 years old today, not 27.

The news worried not only the rich Russian owner of Monaco, who paid the attacker richly and gave him a long-term contract, but also FIFA, which will have big problems sorting out the history books and statistics in which Falcao entered several times.

As a junior in 2005, he led the national team to gold at the South American Championship for U20 selections, and while playing for Porto and Atletico Madrid, he broke records with his goals in championships and competitions under the auspices of UEFA.

French media contacted Falka's father and asked him when his son was born. He replied that it was a mistake and that the date written in the passport is correct.
