The Mexicans returned the luxury watches.

The article reports that Mexican football players returned luxury watches gifted by content creator and influencer Stevewilldoit. The gift, which included a Rolex watch for each player and staff member, cost over a million US dollars. According to the BBC, the players were required to return the watches due to FIFA’s ethical code, which limits the acceptance of gifts unless they have symbolic or insignificant value. The watches were given on Monday before the team was eliminated in the Round of 16 by Ecuador. The Mexican Football Association stated that the players decided to return the watches 'by mutual agreement' at the request of Stevewilldoit. The team is set to face England in the quarterfinals later that night.
