Santos FC, Monica's Gang unveil Magali line for Mauricio's 90th | OneFootball

Long established in Monica’s Gang stories as a Santos fan, Magali now officially wears the club’s colors. The character stars in a collection launched by Santos Futebol Clube, MSP Estúdios, and Só Ídolos in honor of Mauricio de Sousa’s 90th birthday.

The line includes shirts, caps, cups, cushions, coasters, keychains, and popcorn buckets. The items feature a special version of the character inspired by the club and are aimed at both Santos FC supporters and readers who follow Magali in the comics.

With the concept “From Vila to Brazil,” the partnership brings together two stories that were born in the state of São Paulo and went on to win over the whole country. On one side is Santos FC, the club that introduced Pelé to the world and continues its tradition of developing athletes, from the Meninos da Vila to the Sereias da Vila. On the other is Mauricio de Sousa, who turned characters created in comic books into part of Brazilian culture.

The choice of Magali reinforces a connection that already existed. The character has always been identified as a Santos supporter and now comes to represent that passion beyond the stories as well. The collection is part of the celebrations marking Mauricio de Sousa’s 90th birthday and celebrates the meeting of two worlds held dearly in the emotional memory of different generations: Monica’s Gang and football.
