JUGADORES CON PATENTE

Álvaro Recoba and Antonio Pacheco are the team captains of two leading Uruguayan soccer teams, Nacional and Peňarol. They are rivals on the field and close friends in life, they co-direct a carnival group called "Murga" in Montevideo. They collaborate with Rafael Perrone ( Recoba’s father in law). They share their passion for soccer and show us that family and friendships go beyond their drive for soccer and the colors of their jerseys. Jugadores con Patente gives us a close up of their lives and draws a parallelism between soccer and carnival, the two biggest passions of Uruguay.
