The Gigantes do Norte are reportedly Brazil’s premier little people football team, and there success on the pitch is changing lives and perceptions in their country.
Gigantes do Norte use full-size pitches and goals in their matches, but are allowed to bend one rule: they can carry a teammate on their shoulder’s when defending a free-kick.
Their coach says some players would easily be professionals if they were born taller.
The team, whose name means the Giants of the North, are based in Belem, Para State, North Brazil.
They are credited with helping combat prejudice against dwarfs.
