During a visit to the Santos Football club Trophy Hall and Memorial Museum, fans – and even those who are not so keen on football! – can learn about some of the many incredible feats of a team that stopped a war, scored more goals and is a renowned production line of international football cracks.

There are 380m² for visitors to have fun and learn about the legends of the most famous ‘vila’ in the world: Vila Belmiro, the neighborhood that is home to the Urbano Caldeira Stadium, and Santos FC. Installed on the ground floor of the stadium since November 17, 2003, the Memorial Museum presents eternal moments of the great idols of all time, some with their own spaces, like Pelé and Neymar, as well 600 trophies, photographs, videos, prizes, banners and temporary exhibitions.

On the Field

For those with more time, the guided tour is worth it — including curiosities from the memorial, the Press Room, the professional team’s locker room, the stands, and even the thrill of stepping on the same ground as world-renowned football icons.
In the simple visit, the route is limited to the memorial and the stands.

Pelé

In the space dedicated to King Pelé, panels display the astonishing statistics of the eternal number 10, such as his 1,091 goals scored in 1,114 matches for Santos. There’s extra suspense when entering the locker room, where the locker of the “athlete of the 20th century” still keeps, under lock and key, items no one has ever seen.

Neymar

A replica of the Puskas Award, granted by FIFA for the most beautiful goal of 2011, is one of the highlights of the area dedicated to Neymar, another star who conquered the world starting from Vila Belmiro. There is also the original silver medal won by the Brazilian national team at the London Olympics in 2012.
