Paysandu player Marcinho supports fan Pampam after club ban

Paysandu midfielder Marcinho has publicly supported Pampam, a prominent fan with cerebral palsy, after the club's marketing department barred him from participating in pre-match field entries.

Pampam has become a symbol for the Paysandu supporters, often walking onto the pitch alongside players. Following the decision to prevent his participation, Marcinho visited the fan and posted a photo on social media with the caption “Juntos sempre” (Always together), signaling his solidarity.

The fan's uncle reported that the club's marketing director cited policy reasons for the restriction. The move has caused significant backlash among the club's supporters, as the bond between the player and the fan has become a well-known part of the team's matchday tradition.
