My Story
✨ From childhood in Brazil to international football
The passion for football started early in the small town of Fortuna, in the state of Maranhão, Brazil. Since childhood, Pedrinho showed he had a dream: to become a professional football player. Raised on the streets of his hometown, he not only dribbled past friends but also overcame the difficulties he encountered along the way. His career began at Aprovação Football School, under the guidance of coach Mariano, who saw a spark of talent in the boy and encouraged him to hone his skills.
With a heart full of determination and discipline, Pedrinho didn't let challenges discourage him. Every training session was an opportunity to learn and grow. Local competitions became his stage, where he shone like a rising star, earning the respect and admiration of fans and teammates. His dedication soon caught the attention of more important clubs, opening doors he never imagined.
The quest for new experiences took Pedrinho to Europe, where he had the opportunity to play for different clubs in Italy and Croatia. Each new league was a new learning experience; each opponent, a lesson in adaptation and overcoming. At Acri Academy and U.S.D. Scalea 1912, he proved that his passion for football was stronger than any cultural or technical barrier.
Defending the colors of NK Jadran Gunja and NK Kutjevo in the Croatian Third Division, Pedrinho stood out not only for his technical skills but also for the wisdom acquired over the years. He knew that every match was a chance to prove his worth and inspire other young athletes to never give up on their dreams.
"Football taught me that with discipline, hard work and passion, we can overcome any obstacle. My journey is proof that dreams can become reality."
— Pedrinho Martins
