Brazilian Packers superfans ready for NFL action in São Paulo

As the Packers prepare for their season opener, fans in Brazil are buzzing with excitement—especially as they get a chance to see their favorite team in action. Some fans, like those lucky enough to meet stars like Jaire Alexander, are living their dreams.

Victor Francisco shared a video of the team arriving by bus, capturing the moment one fan traveled hours just to meet his favorite players.
