20 years ago, the gaming world was "shaken" by the release of "Fifa Street," which celebrated talent, style, and even the cunning that is characteristic of street football and freestyle around the world.

This Monday (9), Botafogo tugged at the nostalgic heartstrings of fans of the franchise by posting a video featuring defender Alexander Barboza and midfielder Marlon Freitas playing a casual match on a court in Los Angeles, USA.

In the video, the black-and-white captain—honoring the "legacy" of the "Fifa Street" stars—pulls off a humiliating nutmeg on an unsuspecting defender at Venice Beach, California.

The cultural exchange even included a mix of "altinha" (keepie-uppie) with basketball.

The event is part of the "Mundo Botafogo - Cultural Exchange", which Glorioso has been putting into practice in the USA.

2024 Libertadores champion, Botafogo is in Group B of the 2025 Club World Cup, alongside AtlƩtico de Madrid, PSG, and Seattle Sounders.

Glorioso debuts in the tournament against the American team next Sunday (15), at Seattle Field.

After that, Botafogo faces PSG, the current Champions League champion, at the traditional Rose Bowl in Los Angeles, on Thursday (19).

And the Brazilian club wraps up its participation in the first phase against AtlƩtico de Madrid, at the same stadium in California, on Monday (23).
