Aparecido Dal Col, who spent much of his life intertwined with the Palmeiras football club, was deeply moved during his visit to Allianz Parque. Born in Guarantã, São Paulo, he relocated to ABC in his youth at his brother's urging but eventually returned to his roots after a job opportunity fell through. In his hometown, he found love in Isabel, with whom he shared 36 years and three children: Renata, Gustavo, and Karina.

Throughout his life, Dal Col made a living as a safety technician, a role his son-in-law, sports commentator Alexandre Alves, humorously described as one that involved ensuring others did not work too hard. Despite his humble and reserved demeanor, his passion for the Palmeiras club made him come alive when discussing the team. The affection for Palmeiras was a recurring theme in his conversations and defined much of his identity throughout his life.

Dal Col's emotional connection to Palmeiras reflects the broader Brazilian culture of football, where teams represent more than just sport, often symbolizing community, family bonds, and personal history. His recent visit to Allianz Parque marked a significant moment of nostalgia and pride, encapsulating the intertwining of his personal story with that of the club he loved immensely, leaving a lasting legacy that will continue to influence his family and community.
