Real Madrid Star Vinícius Jr Surprises Sudanese Boy With Match Invite

Thirteen-year-old Zaher lost both of his legs after a drone strike in Khartoum, Sudan, amid the ongoing conflict between the country's army and the RSF. When featured in a report, he expressed a simple dream to walk and play football again. Following the broadcast, viewers raised funds that allowed Zaher to receive treatment, surgery, prosthetic legs, and months of physiotherapy and psychological support in Cairo. Real Madrid footballer Vinícius Júnior subsequently sent him a surprise video message praising his courage and inviting him to attend a Real Madrid match.
