Icon Clodoaldo and Meninos da Vila visit kids at 4th “Champion at School” | OneFootball

In the spirit of the World Cup, students at UME Edson Arantes do Nascimento, in Santos, welcomed the fourth edition of “Champion at School,” which was fittingly themed around the tournament.

The event’s main highlight was Clodoaldo, one of the key players of Brazil’s three-time champion national team in 1970 and one of the greatest idols in Santos FC history.

Alongside him, representing the Santos team, were Meninos da Vila players Kauan Basile, Isaac Miranda, and Bernardo Silveira, as well as former Santos center-backs Narciso and Domingos.

Together with the Club’s eternal idol, the young athletes handed out autographs, spoke with those in attendance, posed for photos, and helped create a great celebration among the students, reinforcing the power of sport as a tool for education and social transformation!

“It is a very great emotion. I feel very proud to give these children the opportunity to learn a little about the history of Brazilian football, my history, and that of our beloved King Pelé. It is a wonderful experience that I am living here, and it is important to show that discipline is the beginning and fundamental for everyone, and it is at school where the student begins their journey,” said Clodoaldo.
