The NATO Welcoming Sweden Is Larger, More Determined

Baseball Has Grown in Bogotá, Colombia, Thanks to Venezuelan Migrants

Associated media - Connected media “Once you’re here, it doesn’t matter,” said Gabriel Arcos, a systems engineer who grew up cheering for a Leones rival in Venezuela and moved to Bogotá in 2016. “Maybe you don’t like the Leones of Caracas, but like I always say, these are the Leones of Bogotá.” Four years ago, when Iraida Acosta took over as president of the Leones, she said there were only six Venezuelan children.
