Galo youngsters join Banho de Amor social initiative | OneFootball

Atlético’s youth academy teams played a supportive role on Tuesday night (22). Thirty players from the U-14, U-15, and U-17 squads were at Praça da Estação to deliver around 3,000 bars of soap to the Banho de Amor project, which brings a mobile bathroom to squares in Belo Horizonte, offering the homeless basic hygiene, well-being, and health conditions.

The initiative came from the youth academy’s Player Care Department, which collected donations from athletes across all age groups over the course of three months and carried out the delivery. Even in the rain, the Crias carried the boxes of soap, took photos, and learned a little more about Banho de Amor.

The evening also featured the participation of mascot Galo Doido, who handed out backpacks to homeless residents.
