BRI Liga 1: Spreading Joy at Christmas, PSS Sleman Defender from Ghana Becomes Santa Claus
As the holiday season approaches, football clubs in Indonesia are not only focusing on their performance on the field, but also on spreading joy and happiness to those in need. In the spirit of Christmas, players and staff from various clubs are taking part in charitable activities to bring smiles to the faces of those less fortunate.
One heartwarming story comes from PSS Sleman, a club competing in the BRI Liga 1. The team’s defender, who hails from Ghana, has taken on the role of Santa Claus this Christmas. Despite being far away from his own family during the festive season, he has embraced the opportunity to bring joy to others in his adopted home.
Dressed in a traditional Santa Claus costume, complete with a red suit, white beard, and a sack full of gifts, the defender visited a local orphanage in Yogyakarta. As he walked through the doors, the children’s faces lit up with excitement and wonder. For many of them, this would be the first time they had ever met Santa Claus in person.
The defender spent the afternoon playing games, singing carols, and handing out presents to the children. He made sure to spend time with each and every one of them, listening to their stories and making them feel special. His presence brought a sense of magic and joy to the orphanage, leaving a lasting impact on all who were present.
In a post on social media, PSS Sleman shared photos and videos of the heartwarming visit, thanking their defender for his kindness and generosity. The club’s fans were quick to praise him for his selfless act, with many expressing admiration for his commitment to making a difference in the community.
This story serves as a reminder that football is more than just a game – it has the power to bring people together, inspire kindness, and make a positive impact on the world. As we celebrate the holiday season, let us all take a cue from PSS Sleman’s defender and spread joy and happiness wherever we go. After all, as the saying goes, it is better to give than to receive.
