Vincius is now a world football superstar. He is a dedicated player who has made it to the top and continues to make history at Real Madrid, but life has not been easy for him.

The young player grew up in Rio de Janeiro's favelas, surrounded by poverty. Football saved him and his family, so the Brazilian wants to help others who are in the same situation he was in.

As seen in the video above, Vini breaks down crying as he rememberes his difficult childhood at the first anniversary of his NGO.
