While the pandemic has hit the sports world hard globally, one Brazilian sport has found a way to survive by streaming itself and connecting players on the internet. Enter: button soccer.
And that passion is passed on from generation to generation. Araújo explains that his father had button teams in the '70s and also kept the teams that his grandfather used in his youth, made of jacket buttons. Born in 1975, he says that “in the early 1980s, button soccer was my greatest passion, it was my first contact with soccer actually.”
“This is perhaps our greatest difficulty,” says Quintaes. “There is no renewal because children today don't play anymore. Consequently, there are no new players. It's hard to compete with video games and computer games of the latest generation.”
