Check out Vasco’s new kit paying tribute to Círio de Nazaré

On Tuesday (16), Vasco da Gama reaffirmed its pioneering spirit and strong connection with Brazilian cultural traditions. The club officially launched a commemorative shirt in honor of the Círio de Nazaré, the largest Catholic event in Brazil. The initiative makes the Cruz-Maltino the first football club outside of Pará to receive the "Círio Seal" and to launch an officially licensed product for the festival.

Vasco joins the tradition of Pará

The launch took place at an event in Belém, alongside local clubs Remo, Paysandu and Tuna Luso, which traditionally launch uniforms for the religious festival. Vasco's participation was celebrated by the Círio board.

“We are making history. Vasco, as always, is the holder of several [pioneering actions], besides football,” celebrated Francisco Cezar, a Vasco fan present at the launch.

The shirt, in white with gold details, features an illustration of Our Lady of Nazaré next to the club's shield.

Initiative is part of a broader strategy

The move to associate with the Círio de Nazaré is part of a broader strategy by the board. The club has been seeking to connect with different popular manifestations, reinforcing its historical vocation for inclusion. CEO Carlos Amodeo explained the action.

He stated:

“The launch of the shirt (...) reinforces Vasco da Gama's commitment to value and respect cultural manifestations of great relevance to the country. (...) It is a gesture that unites sport, culture and tradition, in perfect harmony with the club's values.”

Part of the income will be reverted to social works

The project also has an important social aspect. Part of the income obtained from the sale of the shirts will be destined to the social works of the Parish of Nazaré and to the realization of the Círio itself. The launch campaign is starred by singer Lexa, a Vasco fan with strong family ties to Pará, reinforcing the club's connection with local culture.
