The Village Libertadores is set to commence tonight at 23:40 on MEGA, with Damasta, a village rich in history and resilience, being the first stop in this football journey. Nestled on the northern slopes of Mount Koi, Damasta has a storied past, having endured hardships during World War II when Nazis executed 30 locals and destroyed the village. Today, the community takes pride in its heritage, largely embodied by its beloved football team.

Despite having only 40 permanent residents, Damasta becomes alive with the spirit of community support every Friday as over 300 locals from the wider Heraklion region gather to support their team. This gathering not only showcases the villagers' love for football but also their dedication to keeping the memory of their village's past alive. The football team has become a vital part of their identity, helping to unite the community and foster local pride.

As the residents participate in everything from training sessions to communal gatherings before the weekend match, their collective spirit emphasizes the bond within this small village. The commitment to the team and the memories of resistance against Nazi oppression echo in their celebrations, symbolizing both a celebration of sport and the enduring legacy of the community’s history.
