Solidarity entered the field and scored a great goal this Sunday (28), in Feira de Santana. The Natal Show de Bola took a crowd to the Arena Cajueiro Professor Jodilton Souza, home of Tremendão, and transformed the Bahia de Feira stadium into a stage for football, music and social responsibility. The event is a partnership with the Superintendency of Sports of the State of Bahia (Sudesb) and the State Government’s Bahia Sem Fome program.
On the field, the review was due to the duel between Friends of Thiago Aquino x Friends of Cristian Bellbringing together artists, influencers and athletes. Names like Dum Ice, Leozito, Edcity and Flavinho Pagodart were also present, ensuring the crowd’s excitement. To enter, the public donated 1 kg of non-perishable food, reinforcing the chain of good.
Union of Forces
The big names at the party, Cristian Bell and Thiago Aquino, reinforced that digital influence and music should serve as tools for social transformation. Actions like this are important throughout the year to promote social justicewhich goes far beyond charity.
To Acorda Cidade, Cristian Bell told what motivated him to participate in the initiative, spoke of his affection for the Princess of the Sertão and highlighted that it was a year of good results for both him and Thiago Aquino, who has the hearts of many people from Feira and has “the most delicious repertoire in Brazil”.
“It’s an incredible year for us, both for me and for Thiago, and for all these friends who are participating. There’s nothing more fitting than to seal this year, which was very good for everyone, with a get-together like this, of friends, everyone participating, everyone playing here. Involving the public of Feira de Santana, which is an incredible city for both me and Thiago, much more so for him, who is from here. It’s a party really, it’s a review. I hope everyone has fun and like it”, he told Acorda Cidade.
In addition to being an influencer, Cristian is the manager of several Bahian influencers and singers, such as Theuzinho, who this year was nominated for the 2025 Multishow Award, in the Arrocha of the Year category, with the hit “Vou Começar a Não Prestar”, as well as Anna Caterina, who has already recorded several hits with her voice.
The host of the house, singer Thiago Aquino, said that he doesn’t have much experience in the field, but it’s a space where he always likes to be among friends, especially to promote good.
“It’s a desire. Every year I do a social action, and this year was different. Last year I did it in music and invited Cristian Bell so we could join forces and see if we could do a different action, but on the field. It’s my first time playing like this on a big field. I’m used to getting a ‘babble’ there among friends. Today I’ll have the presence of professional players, old players too, singers and the guys involved, presenters.”
“I think the internet is there for us to help those in need. I was very happy to see some images earlier of people bringing food. I think we will be able, with faith in God, to gather as much food as possible to help as many people as possible”, he added.
Stars on the Lawn
Former player Jorge Wagner, who played for major clubs in Brazil and abroad, made a point of attending the event in his homeland.
“It’s great to be returning to Feira de Santana to participate in this charity event, which will certainly help a lot of people. I’m happy to be here, with the opportunity to see friends and family also present here at the stadium, participating.”
The presenter of the program Alô Juca, on TV Aratu, Marcelo Castro, was also present and joked about his performance on the field.
“Today is a charity game to help people living on the streets and in vulnerable situations. So it’s important Friends of Thiago against Friends of Cristian. The stadium will be full today, see? It’s been a while since I’ve played football, but I’m going to put this lefty to work today. The preparation is good, let’s see the lefty”, he joked.
Fighting hunger, a Ball Show action
When speaking to Acorda Cidade, the coordinator of Bahia Sem Fome, Tiago Pereira, highlighted the importance of the initiative, remembering that Feira de Santana is among the cities with the highest number of people facing hunger in the state.
“The Government has supported a set of initiatives that involve sports, festivals, a series of attractions on celebratory dates. All food collected here will be donated to the program and will make up our baskets, which we are delivering to families in situations of social vulnerability.”
The expectation is to collect 10 tons of food, which will be distributed in partnership with local associations and unions.
“The event is being organized to serve an audience of 7 thousand people. Our expectation here is to collect 10 tons of food. This will be added to a set of other foods already contributed by the State Government and also collected in other initiatives. Today, with almost three years of the Jerônimo Rodrigues government, we have already counted 3,500 tons of food that have been collected and donated to the population in a situation of hunger”, he told Acorda Cidade.
