Santos to wear special shirts v Bragantino for organ donation | OneFootball

The Santos jersey will undergo some changes in the match against Red Bull Bragantino this Sunday, for the 25th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. In support of the Ministry of Health’s organ donation campaign, Peixe will replace all sponsorships with surgical stitches.

This initiative will take place during the first half of the match. The club’s sponsors will donate their spaces, which will be replaced by surgical stitches symbolizing transplanted organs and preserved lives, with one stitch per jersey. In the second half, the logos will return, but the uniform will feature a patch with the phrase “Donate Organs, Donate Life.”

In addition, forward Lautaro Díaz will play with the number 19 in gold. According to the club, for every 1 million potential donors in Brazil, only 19 actually donate. Thus, the goal is to draw attention to this statistic.

The Ministry of Health launched the National Quality Program for Organ and Tissue Donation for Transplants (PRODOT), which recognizes the teams working in hospitals, responsible for identifying potential donors, managing the process logistics, and informing families.

The match between Santos and Red Bull Bragantino is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estádio Municipal Cícero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista.
