FIRST STEPS IN SOCCER. Alexandro Alves do Nascimento, better known as Alex Alves, was born on December 30, 1974, in the small town of Campo Formoso, in the interior of Bahia. From an early age, soccer ran through his veins. Like many Brazilian boys, Alex grew up playing soccer on the streets of his city, dreaming of a career that would take him away from the simple life and place him among the great names in the sport. At just 13 years old, he joined the youth ranks of Esporte Clube Vitória, in Salvador, where he began to show signs of his unique talent. Agile, fast and with a natural ability to dribble past his opponents, he soon caught the attention of the youth coaches. The promise he represented was clear: a boy from humble origins, with an immense passion for football and the potential to become a star. It was in this environment that Alex began to shape the style of play that would later make him famous. In 1992, at just 17 years old, he made his debut for Vitória’s professional team, and Brazilian football began to realize that it was in the presence of a new gem. The young man from Campo Formoso was ready to shine on the national stage. Now, the stage was set for something bigger. With his innate ability and will to win, Alex Alves was prepared to conquer more than just the fields of Salvador.
