Deaf and blind soccer fan celebrates Brazil World Cup victory in touching video

A moving video has emerged of a blind and deaf soccer fan experiencing the excitement of his team scoring a goal at the World Cup through touch and vibrations alone.

Carlos Alberto Santana Junior was able to celebrate with his friends as Brazil’s Phillipe Coutinho scored a goal against Costa Rica in Russia despite being born deaf and losing his vision as a boy, UOL reported.

His pals developed an ingenious way of translating the live action, allowing him to share his team’s glory with the help of a mini soccer pitch.

One man runs his finger along the 30-year-old’s back as his other friend moves his hands along the fake pitch.

It’s called haptic communication, a type of non-verbal communication focused on touching.https://www.instagram.com/p/BkVTjCwBX8n/

The video, originally shared by Brazilian amateur football team and social project RC Livramento, has had more than two million views.
