Have you ever imagined seeing a dream born in the Sertão reaching the field of the greats? That’s exactly what happened!
Wesley Sousa, a dedicated student of the FutSertão project, has just achieved a major victory — he was selected to play for the Fluminense do Piauí U-13 team in 2026!
When a Dream Meets Opportunity
This achievement represents much more than just a chance in sports — it’s the reflection of a journey marked by faith, discipline, and perseverance. Wesley believed, trained, and persisted, showing that when a dream meets opportunity, the impossible can truly become reality.
His story also inspires other children from the Sertão to believe that talent and effort can change their destinies.
The Light That Shines From the Sertão
The true glow of this story isn’t only found on the field. It comes from the strength and determination of the Sertão — from every child, every family, and every partner who believes in the power of social transformation through sports and education.
FutSertão is more than a sports project — it’s a movement of hope that uncovers talent, strengthens values, and opens doors to a better future. Without a doubt, Wesley’s story is living proof that the Sertão can do more — much more.
Sports That Transform Lives
While many see only a game, the Instituto Novo Sertão sees a fertile field of opportunity and transformation. Every training session, every match, and every victory represents a seed planted in the hearts of young people who believe in better days.
That’s why we remain steadfast — supporting dreams that change stories, inspiring new generations, and showing that persistence is the path to transforming the Sertão
After all, every victory like this one ignites a new flame of hope.
Together for a transformed Sertão
