SloveniaIn 2022, Orlando Gill became a father to his son Lautaro, who was born prematurely and required specialized medical treatment. The costs associated with their care were extremely high, forcing Gill to sell his sports equipment, including his jersey from the U20 national team, to raise money. His partner Melissa Avalos shared on social media last September how Gill sacrificed everything to support their child’s health. Today, at 26 years old, Gill has made 11 appearances for the senior national team but only played once for the U20 team. His U20 jersey held special sentimental value, but he had to sell it to help cover medical expenses. A friend, Pedro Suarez, bought the jersey for €30 and later offered to return it if Uruguay beats France in a match, which did not happen. However, it is believed that Gill will eventually get the jersey back.
