UBF Brazil Just Happened, and we all missed it!

October 2024 came and went without too much going down, that is until you look at the EX Sports "X" account and realise that one of the coolest 1v1 events just went down and we all missed it.

‍

WHAT?

You read that right, we missed an epic event. Ginasio Portoguesa, Sao Paulo, Brazil, October 12-13 2024. Those are the details we should have all had on our calendar. Think about this, one of the coolest concepts in Football is 1v1, at Contraband we LOVE 1v1, we know it's the next big thing, but at this event we had Sean Garnier VS ex Pro Footballer Ze Roberto, we had a creator showdown with Adonias vs Edacre, two 1v1 Pro showdowns with X1 royalty Pacoca vs Marivano & Negohbiza vs Leleti, then two skills showdown matches with Gui vs Guilherme & Bolt vs Wallace, then finally a Talent fight between Joao Vitor vs Lima. That was a mouthful, but it goes to show the "fight" cards strength. What an event, and I guarantee we all missed quite a spectacle.

‍

Why We Missed It?

Sean Garnier is a very popular guy, and well deserved of that title, but what many of you wouldn't know is that he has a huge Brazilian audience that really bring life to anything he throws at them. Don't believe me, go through his socials and come back to me. He's always there. This speaks to why we may have missed this event though, we weren't it's intended audience. The event was sponsored by a Brazilian Gambling company, do any of you plan on gambling online in Brazil soon? I don't think so, hence this wasn't meant for us unfortunately.

What's Next?

Honestly I'm not sure, I'm hoping more of the same. 1v1 has the potential to thrive in the booming world of short form content, which Sean and his team smartly realised and is capitalising on, so more of these would be great. I'll just make sure the team at Contraband don't miss the next one as well, we'll relay all the info bacdk to you all so that you don't miss a beat either.
