First national-team invitation for ACV defender
The José Bello Aruba call-up marks a first invitation to the national team for the 28-year-old ACV Assen left-back, according to a November 11 NoticiaCla report. Bello was born and raised in Warffum in the Netherlands and has an Aruban father.
The report, citing his comments to Radio Noord, says national coach Marvic Bermúdez had followed his progress since he joined ACV. Bello learned of his selection through Instagram.
Injury leaves debut uncertain
Bello is recovering from an injury, so selection does not guarantee that he will play immediately. The source lists matches against Martinique on November 12 in Aruba and November 17 in Martinique, with the return match a possible opportunity if his recovery progresses.
Bello described representing Aruba as a longstanding ambition. The report says he still has family on the island and that his father welcomed the invitation with pride.
