About this episode

Thousands of Brazilian football fans form a crowd at the airport in Rio de Janeiro. Security guards have to push back fences, so they’re not overrun by the crowd. The fans wave flags, hold up banners and scream their lungs out. Grown men are crying in happiness. A stage is set so the man they came for can oversee the massive crowd when he arrives. 


This is the story of the day an absolute European football legend decided to write the final chapter of his career in Brazil. This is the story of the glorious end of Clarence Seedorf’s career as a football player in Rio de Janeiro. It’s a story about a childhood dream, the ultimate fan culture, blasting air conditioning, Brazilian carnaval and an unexpected ending. Host: Sam van Raalte.
