Social project with soccer team

Project in Rio de Janeiro - RJ

 

I was responsible for the Neo Sorrisos project created and sponsored by the implant company Neodent during the period we were inside the football stadium of the Vasco da Gama team, where we served several employees and athletes from all divisions and categories of the Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama.


We had the opportunity to play a joke between two professional athletes about dental treatment at the request of the club itself.


The Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama (better known only as Vasco and whose acronym is CRVG) is a Brazilian socio-multisports entity based in the city of Rio de Janeiro, founded on August 21, 1898, by a group of rowers. Inspired by the celebrations of the fourth centenary of the discovery of the sea route to the Indies, which took place in 1498, they baptized the new association with the name of the Portuguese navigator who achieved this feat, Vasco da Gama.


Despite having been founded as a "Clube de Regatas", consecrating itself in rowing as one of the greatest champions on the continent, Vasco da Gama still covers other modalities such as athletics, beach volleyball, basketball, beach soccer, among others, having football as the most traditional sport. Vasco's colors hold a strong meaning: black refers to the unknown seas of the East, pioneered by Vasco da Gama, while the white of the diagonal stripe refers to the route discovered by the admiral. In addition, these are colors that fit the idea of ​​the communion of ethnic groups (since it was the first club in Brazil to fight against racial and social prejudice), having been the first in the history of sports clubs in Brazil to have elected a president. "not white" (in 1904, at a time when racism against blacks was a common practice in sport, Vasco da Gama had the honor of leading the mulatto Cândido José de Araújo to the highest step of the club). The Cross, the main symbol, has a strong religious aspect because the Military Order of Christ was both religious and warrior.
