Retrô Football Clube Brasil were the talk of Brazil as the club only founded in 2016 gained promotion to the country's top tier for the first time in 2027. Most Brazilian football fans had never even heard of this little club in the northeast of the country, but it quickly gained appeal as they discovered its commitment to youth and deliciously stylish football kits.
A young Retrô Futebol Clube Brasil side just about survived in their first season in Série B, and an epic youth intake had fans dreaming of a bright future for the club that was only founded just over a decade ago.
Retrô Futebol Clube Brasil gained promotion to the second tier of Brazilian football for the first time in their short history in their first season under the tutelage of Robinho Lazaró. And the retirement of veteran stars Vágner Love and Fernandinho, several old players being released and a lack of finances saw the manager put his faith in youth.
The fifth iteration of our Wonderkid Factory series see us finally head to the spiritual home of football: Brazil. In this new adventure, we're basing ourselves in the northeast of South America's largest country for a monumental youth-focused challenge.
Robinho Lazaró's time in charge of Brazil started with a little disappointment as a tame performance saw them lose 1-0 to arch rivals Argentina in the Final of Copa América. The nation still believed in him so his next task was to lead them to World Cup 2034 in South Korea.
Lazaró's good financial management saw Santos come into his 11th season as manager with £300m nin the bank for the first time. There was more exciting news off the pitch as the club returned to the newly renovated Santos Stadium, which had seen a 16,000-seat expansion to take the stadium to a 49,127 capacity for the 2034 campaign.
The streets of Santos, in Sao Paulo, witnessed one of the biggest parties in living memory as Robinho Lazaró and his young team of heroes returned home from Colombia as Champions of South America.
Robinho Lazaró was given the ultimate honour of any Football Manager as he became the Brazil boss in August 2030.
Youthful Santos Futebol Clube claimed the club's first Brazilian title in 24 years as they stormed to Série A success in November 2028. Manager Robinho Lazaró now had to ensure they kept hold of their best youngsters to try and defend that title and aim for their first Copa Libertadores Final since 2020.
Robinho Lazaró was pretty happy with the progress that Santos CF was making. They were also progressing off the field as infrastructure improvements saw Santos complete perfect 20 youth recruitment, junior coaching and training facilities with 18 youth facilities.
