The first thing photographer @daniele_volpe saw when he got out of the car in Xejuyup (pronounced shay-who-YOOP), a town of about 4,000 people in southern #Guatemala, was a huge banner with the official picture of the local soccer team, called CSD Xejuyup, featuring the team’s uniforms. Mayan culture retains a strong presence in Guatemala. Colorful traditional clothing, usually worn by women, is among the first things tourists may notice upon their arrival. It’s less common to see men wearing traditional clothing, and in Xejuyup only a few elderly men do so. This worried Antonio Perechú. A former goalkeeper, Antonio played for several regional teams but stopped pursuing his dream of becoming a professional soccer player because his family couldn’t afford it. He founded CSD Xejuyup in 1982 as something of a community organization — the Spanish acronym CSD translates as Sports Social Club — and today his son, Miguel, is the team’s captain. The players explained to @daniele_volpe that the coxtar (the skirt), the kutin (the shirt) and the pas (the sash) have meanings associated with the ancestral Mayan worldview. Their colors, their embroidery and the weaving line patterns suggest the relation between humans and nature and its elements.
