River Plate recently renovated their home ground El Monumental, removing the running track to move the fans closer to the field. As part of a tribute to a once part of the club's old glory, River Plate has decided to pieces of the track and the land of the football field as a memento.
'Pista De Gloria' and 'Tierra De Gloria'
Here are the two mementos from the removed track.
'Pista De Gloria' (Track of Glory) is a piece of the track that has been cut into a small rectangle.
Fans of the club who have RiverID, River Plate's membership program, will receive a piece of the track (called 'Glory Fragment') for free. Others will be able to purchase online through the club's website.
Meanwhile, 'Tierra De Gloria' (Land of Glory) is a small amount of land of the field that once graced by the feet of generations of footballers.
Rodolfo D'Enophrio, River Plate's President, said: "After so many championships, cups, Olympic laps and indelible memories, we believe that everything sacred deserves a special place, and what better place than the house of fans.
"The idea is to give a piece of history to those who always were. A little bit of that glory and greatness that we get among all."
