Palmeiras finally going global

As part of a recently signed sponsorship agreement with English language school “Minds”, the Palmeiras website will soon feature a full section in English. Not a day too early: the World is globalised and the World Cup is coming up, arousing and multiplying interest for anything Brazil and everything football. Take the signing of Lúcio: within hours of the rumours spreading that he was to leave SPFC to join Palmeiras, a Swedish journalist asked for my comments on the matter.

Personally, I’m very pleased with the announcement. Anything Palmeiras was created to fill a void, a void which, if everything works out as intended, now will be substantially reduced. I’ve been told that the growth and impact of Anything Palmeiras did play a part in the decision to format an English section on the club’s official website. Just try wiping the smile off my face.   

Scoppia che la vittoria è nostra!
