Street football is making a huge comeback in Brazil
On the occasion of National Football Day in Brazil, the ” Zézé Biscoitos ” biscuit brand wanted to bring children from the same neighborhood together by installing self-service footballs. A friendly campaign destined to detach young people from their game consoles.
