The 0-0 draw with Bangu on Tuesday night, November 10, ended with a surprise for 100 Futuro. Live, during Rádio Cultura's broadcast of the 1st Division of the Copa Rex 2026, reporter Renato Corrêa announced to coach Netinho and player Gabriel Barreto a donation from the station's director, Erlandson Araújo, known as Gordinho, for the club's social project.
"He always works behind the scenes, and many people don't know what a huge heart he has," said Renato, asking for the Pix right there so the transfer could be made in the project's name.
Netinho was moved. "I'm happy that God touched his heart and that he sees how hard things are for us. We chase players, we chase money to bring athletes, in a championship at the highest level, like the one in Lavras. Thank you, Gordinho, may God give you back twice over. This will certainly help the club a lot," he said.
The coach explained how the project works. A former player for the team, who played even with both knees injured, started training five children on a dirt pitch in the neighborhood, and today he takes all the kids to the field on weekends. "He wakes up early, makes the snacks and takes them. If he's late, the kids go to his door. You have to get to know this project," said Netinho, who also said he began playing for 100 Futuro himself in 2014 as a right-back, and only stopped competing because of a knee injury.
Gabriel Barreto also thanked the club, the project and the boys in the youth ranks on behalf of everyone. "This brings visibility to us and to the boys who come from the bottom. Keep up the work you do in amateur football," he said.
"Today I not only made my day, I made my night with this gesture from our director," summed up Renato Corrêa. "It's an amount that is absolutely well spent, and these 100 Futuro kids deserve it."
