Brazilian Santos played in the Bryansk Region Football Championship match
Artem An, a spokesman for the Sokol football team from the city of Seltso, explained the arrival of former Brazilian national team and London Arsenal defender Andre Santos to the club. His words are quoted by Sport24.
An said that the footballer took part in the match of the Bryansk Region Football Championship because he often comes to Moscow. He said that he was born and raised in a village, so he responded to the offer. “Everyone was happy to see a star in a tiny, tiny town. Everyone’s reaction was just great,” added the Sokol representative.
Santos is known for his performances for Arsenal, Turkish Fenerbahce and Swiss Wil. He won the Confederations Cup with the Brazilian national team.
The population of the city of Seltso in the Bryansk region is about 15 thousand people. “Sokol” is an amateur club and plays in the championship of the Bryansk region.
