Vinícius Jr, the Real Madrid star, recently discovered through a DNA test that his ancestry traces back to the Tikar tribe in Cameroon.
This revelation was part of a project by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) in collaboration with AfricanAncestry.com.
The initiative, called “Roots of Gold,” aims to celebrate the African heritage of Afro-Brazilian players.
The announcement was made during a ceremony before Brazil’s World Cup qualifying match against Uruguay.
Vinícius Jr was presented with a certificate confirming his roots and wore a special jersey featuring the flags of both Brazil and Cameroon to honor this connection.
This discovery highlights the importance of acknowledging and preserving the African heritage in the fight against racism, which Vinícius has strongly advocated.
