Vinícius Júnior’s father, Vinícius José Paixão de Oliveira, was the only relative to be aware of the surprise. He fought back tears as he considered how crucial it was that they re-establish a connection with their roots: “Many Brazilians are unaware of their origins.” We’re from Cameroon, which makes me pleased.

According to Gina Paige, founder of AfricanAncestry.com, Vinícius’s return to his roots is an act of resistance against the erasure caused by racism and is a strong symbol of strength.

Ge.globo claims that she stated: Vince Jr. has a strong desire to respect his heritage. But like many people of African heritage, his family’s history has been destroyed by racism and its ramifications.

“We found that Vini Jr.’s ancestors are from the Tikar tribe in Cameroon, thanks to a DNA test with AfricanAncestry.com, a pioneer in paternal and maternal genetic ancestry tracing for Black people worldwide.”

The Raízes de Ouro commercial has not only highlighted Vini Jr.’s life story but also demonstrated how football can promote tolerance and diversity in society.
