In the heart of Paraná, Brazil, the legacy of Rio Branco Beach Soccer is taking a bold leap beyond the confines of the football pitch.
Celebrating 110 years of existence, the club is not only embracing the thrill of the game but also weaving a tale of compassion and inclusivity. Under the visionary leadership of Professor Jefferson Martins, Rio Branco Beach Soccer is set to kick off an audacious project that extends far beyond professional beach soccer. With unwavering belief and community support, the club is gearing up to launch a groundbreaking social initiative aimed at underprivileged children under 13 and 15.
This project is more than a game; it’s a testament to our faith and commitment to making a positive impact. We envision a society where every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive,” Professor Martins declared. The focal point is a dual-pronged approach.
Firstly, a professional beach soccer team is set to hit the sands, representing the rich footballing tradition of Paraná. But the real magic unfolds beyond the thrilling matches, as the club is poised to unveil a comprehensive social project.
The initiative aims to bring joy of the sport to underprivileged children, offering them not just a chance to play but also providing a nurturing environment for growth. The club envisions creating a platform where young talents can break through socio-economic barriers that often limit them.
