Há 16 anos, Marta recebia produtos de limpeza após jogo

An old video of the striker has resurfaced on social media and draws attention to an episode that occurred in 2010, during the Cidade de Feminino Football Tournament.

On that occasion, the athlete scored two goals against the Netherlands team and was elected the best player of the match. As a reward, he received a basket with cleaning products, a situation that generated surprise and comments from the public.

The prize was awarded because the tournament was sponsored by a brand from the sector, which used items from its own segment in promotional actions. Still, the scene came to be remembered as an example of the historical differences in the appreciation of women’s football.
