New Recruitment of Persija Player, Van Basty Sousa midfielder from Brazil – Indonesia’s latest viral

Viralterkini.id, Jakarta – Persija shows his ambition in staring at League 1 2025/2026. An important piece has just been installed in the mosaic of the Kemayoran Tigers squad. He is Van Basty Sousa from the land of Samba.

The midfielder who was born in Olivedos, Brazil, November 27, 1994, officially became part of the extended family of Persija. At a mature age as a footballer, he finally started his new adventure outside the land of birth.

Jakarta became his new pier, Persija became his new home, as well as the gate to a new story in his long career. Sousa came not as an escape, but as an explorer.

The steps towards Jakarta did not come with empty -handed hands. Sousa has climbed the stubbornness of the wilderness of the competition in a true soccer country. He had wore the Gremio Esportivo uniform (Serie B, 2018-2020), then strengthened Mirassol (Serie C, 2021), and Chapecoense (2022). The 2022 season, he became part of Vila Nova in Serie B, then continued his journey with EC Santo André (2024), Náutico Capibaribe (2024), Amazonas FC (Serie B) in 2024, until finally appearing to defend Londrina Esporte Clube (Serie C) in early 2025.

Sousa is believed to maintain the rhythm in the middle of the Kemayoran Tiger stage. His peace broke the pressure, the sharpness of his vision, and his perseverance made him not just a complement, but the essence of the new symphony of Persija. He is a midfielder who understands the pulse of the game like a poet understands pauses.

“I am ready and very happy with this new challenge. I hope to be able to achieve achievements and end up happy at Persija,” said Sousa.

“My goal is to make an extraordinary season, adapt quickly, and achieve personal and team ambitions. I can’t wait to undergo a great season,” he said again.

His presence is a sign that the tiger is never asleep. Always move, search, and arrange the best pieces to challenge the League 1 battlefield. Sousa is not the end, but the beginning of the narrative of the struggle. (ma)
