Brahma "Exiled Team"
When Russia invaded Ukraine, it didn’t only dominate the territory. But also the local culture. The main football team, FC Mariupol, with 63 year of history, ceased to exist in the initial days after the Russian invasion that eventually destroyed 90% of their city and turned 80% of the population into refugees. Ukraine is the main gate for Brazilian players to enter Europe. For many years, Ukrainian teams were the ones with more Brazilian players outside Brazil. The football relationship between two countries were always very tight. As Ukrainians has always been incredibly supportive of great Brazilian football talents, it’s our duty to embrace them. Brahma believes in the power of football by bringing people together under the same passion. So we can keep their hope alive until FC Mariupol can come back home. Because no war can end the spirit of football and the identity of a nation.
