Anytime Columbus Crew SC’s supporters enter MAPFRE Stadium, they are welcomed by several gigantic player banners that are hung on the south end of the venue. Some of the faces displayed have been hanging there for a while, such as team captain Wil Trapp, veteran midfielder Federico Higuain and Ghanaian fullback Harrison Afful.
For the 2018 season, though, the club selected some new players to expose to fans on the banners and one of them is Artur, who celebrated his 22nd birthday last Sunday. One day before, the Brazilian midfielder played in a stadium with his banner for the first time.
