– 3rd place: R$ 1000.00
– 4th place: R$750.00

In addition, the first four places received trophies. “Amputee football is much more than a game. It represents inclusion, overcoming and social transformation. The sport transforms lives”, says Durci.
“Sport has this role, of giving a purpose, a meaning to all of us, because life does not end after a traumatic event. It only asks for a reinvention of who we are”, he added.
