Some dreams become even more special when you live them beside your brother.

For 𝑳𝑨𝑹𝑶𝑺 𝑫𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑻𝑬, the journey began in Rotterdam and carried him through Dutch football, Hungary, AFCON and eventually football’s biggest stage.

At the World Cup, Laros wore 15 for Cabo Verde while his younger brother Deroy wore 14.

Two brothers.
One family.
One flag. 🇨🇻

From the handshake on the pitch to the embrace when it was all over, they shared a moment very few brothers will ever experience.

The jersey. 
The people. 
The emotions.

Thank you, 𝑳𝑨𝑹𝑶𝑺 𝑫𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑻𝑬, for representing Cabo Verde with pride and heart.
