In a provocative move, two teams faced off in a football match played with an artistic reproduction of Francisco Franco's head in Moia, Spain, as part of the "Ex Abrupto" art festival. The unusual ball was created by artist Eugenio Merino and his group Indecline, who have previously courted controversy with works criticizing Franco and right-wing dictatorships. The match, dubbed "La Copa del Generalisimo," was held near former trenches from the 1936-1939 civil war and was recorded for broadcast on local radio and later shown in a bar. Merino aimed to commemorate Franco's death anniversary while promoting anti-fascism, using the same mould for the resin and silicone-covered head that sparked controversy with previous works.
