The Lithuanian futsal champion "Kauno Žalgiris” has acquired its final newcomer ahead of the upcoming season. From now on, the green-and-white jerseys will be worn by Brazilian Joao Vitor.

The 20-year-old player shared that his main motivation for joining "Kauno Žalgiris” was the desire to gain international experience and test himself abroad.
