A Brazilian Football Player Is Representing Saudi’s Culture In The Best Way

Hera Shabbir

Saudi’s community is known to be a distinct group of people with their unique qualities. They offer tolerance, hospitality, and an absolutely welcoming attitude. This football player does a swell job at showing all these values that the Kingdom holds, along with its stunning culture.

Brazilian football player Elton José has represented the Saudi clubs Al-Nassr, Al-Fath and Al-Qadsiah!

This player totally fell in love with the Kingdom, and it’s totally obvious in his feed. He also built a football field in his village back in Brazil with a Saudi-inspired design. The team jersey also features swords and a palm tree, which symbolize the Kingdom.

Elton was totally shocked at the expectations vs reality scenario upon his visit to Saudi


Elton mentioned that when he came to Saudi Arabia, he perceived the stereotypical idea of desert full of camels, surprised at the attachment and love for the desert animal. After 13 years, Elton finally understands the love for camels and people’s relationships with them. He even put a camel sculpture in his house, back in Brazil.

His son even knows the Saudi national anthem by heart! 🇸🇦

Here he is celebrating Saudi’s victory over Argentina in the 2022 FIFA World Cup 👏
