Santos FC to honor influencer Naty Potira in upcoming match
Naty Potira, a prominent digital influencer and flight attendant, has passed away at age 39 following a three-year battle with metastatic cervical cancer. Known for her deep connection to Santos FC, Potira used her social media platform, which reached nearly half a million followers, to raise awareness about cancer prevention and the importance of early diagnosis.
Santos FC announced they will honor her during their upcoming match against São Paulo at the Morumbis stadium. The team will wear a special jersey patch featuring her image and the phrase “Eterna Potira”. This tribute also serves to support the “Outubro Rosa” (Pink October) campaign, promoting awareness for breast and cervical cancer.
Potira had a well-known relationship with the club and received support from football star Neymar Jr., who had previously gifted her a signed jersey and dedicated a victory to her during her treatment. Her passing has drawn widespread condolences from the aviation community, sports figures, and the Santos fanbase.
