[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's got 1.3 million Instagram followers and was signed to a Nike sponsorship at age 8. Feel weird posting his name since he's a child, but if you look up youngest soccer player signed by Nike, very easy to find coverage of him. He played with a bunch of teams his year and older for Flair out of Boston, but I don't think any of them made the finals - he was very impressive to watch and was extremely patient and polite with all the kids approaching him for photos and signatures.[/quote]

Thanks. Using this info I was quickly able to look him up. I actually saw this kid hanging out at the Atlantic City tournament -- not playing, just watching some games with other kids.

I don't think anyone with 1.3 million Instagram followers and a Nike contract that's public knowledge is trying to keep anonymity, so I'll post the news article I found:

https://calciodeal.com/en/kauan-basile-the-9-year-old-santos-gem-nike/#:~:text=each%20of%20them.-,Contract%20with%20Nike,to%20accomplish%20such%20a%20feat

The article doesn't say anything about which club he played with at the Atlantic City Northeast Regional tournament, but someone mentioned FC Flair -- if so, I wonder what the connection with Flair is -- the article makes it sound like he's a Brasilian kid, living in Brasil. Maybe his family relocated to the USA? Or did Flair really somehow recruit a foreign national to play on their futsal team?

Anyway, I'm sure the kid is amazing for his age and I wish him well; the road is long, however.[/quote]
