Brazil is renowned in the football world as a five-time World Cup champion, but their dominance in futsal is even more pronounced. However, a heartbreaking incident has cast a shadow over the sport. During an amateur futsal tournament in Brazil, goalkeeper Edson tragically lost his life.

The incident occurred in Brazil’s Pará state during a local futsal tournament. A video circulating on social media shows the 38-year-old Edson diving to save a powerful penalty shot, with the ball striking him directly in the chest.
