I Went to Pelé & Neymar’s Club. It Explains Modern Football.

Vila Belmiro, home of Santos FC in Brazil, seats just over 16,000 people. It is not the Maracanã. It is not Camp Nou. And yet it produced two of the most famous footballers in history: Pelé and Neymar. Pelé stayed in Brazil and became a global icon without playing in Europe’s top leagues. Neymar left Santos young, joined Barcelona and then PSG, becoming the most expensive transfer in football history. That shift — from staying to leaving — helps explain how Brazilian football changed. For much of the 20th century, Santos FC and the Brazilian league were cultural centres of the sport. Today, Brazil is one of football’s biggest exporters of talent, feeding Europe’s elite clubs in a global transfer market worth billions. In this video, I explore Santos, Vila Belmiro, Pelé, Neymar, race, economics, and the football “food chain” — and how one modest stadium reveals so much of all this. 00:00 Intro 00:16 Pelé 00:43 Neymar 01:36 Little Santos 02:19 Pelé and race 02:57 The global food chain 03:56 Neymar’s return 04:32 Football factory 05:00 Conclusion More from me: Instagram:   / joey.durso   TikTok:   / joey.durso   Substack: https://substack.com/@joeydurso My book: More Than A Shirt: How Football Shirts Explain Global Politics, Money and Power https://geni.us/MoreThanAShirt #SantosFC #VilaBelmiro #Pele #Neymar #BrazilianFootball #FootballHistory #ModernFootball
