ABOUT US
Palmeiras Dublin was founded in August 24, 2014 by Renato Sales, Diego Bianchi, Paulo Boareto and Alexandre Braz with the purpose of bringing together fans of SE Palmeiras residing in Dublin and surrounding areas, providing a space to share our passion for the club.
Nowadays
Since 2014, several important individuals have significantly contributed to the growth and consolidation of the fan base. Currently, the team responsible for making this happen are: Renato Sales, Karina Pires, Ismael Silva, Jonas Almeira, and Diego Araujo.
Renato Sales
A native of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, he lived in Rio de Janeiro for 12 years before crossing the ocean to become one of the founders of Palmeiras Dublin in Ireland, since arriving in the country in 2014.
Renato Sales, who led Palmeiras RJ before coming to Dublin, proves that "There is no distance for the Palmeiras fan."
Diego Araujo
Diego Araujo, 37 years old. I became a Palmeiras fan because of my father, who showed me the right path to follow, and over time my heart turned completely green! I moved to Ireland in 2015 where I discovered Palmeiras Dublin and I follow Palmeiras' games with the best fans in Dublin, united by a shared passion.
Jonas Almeidas
Karina Pires
I've lived in Dublin since 2019 and I'm completely passionate about Palmeiras.
Like the vast majority of Palmeiras fans living in Dublin, I found in Palmeiras Dublin an extension of my love for Verdão (Palmeiras' nickname), even though I've been so far from my Brazilian roots for so long.
I've been an active part of the administration since 2024, and since then I've dedicated a little bit of my life to this beautiful project, working to strengthen our green and white community here in Ireland, in Brazil, and around the world. Avanti Palestra!
