In a remarkable turn of events, former Brazilian football star Dani Alves has found a new path in life — as a preacher in an evangelical church in Girona, Spain. The veteran right-back, who was recently acquitted of sexual assault charges, has openly spoken about his spiritual transformation and the faith that guided him through his darkest moments.
Standing before a packed congregation, Alves delivered a heartfelt message:
> “You have to have faith in God. I am proof of that. I made a pact with God.”
After a turbulent year that saw his name dominate global headlines, Alves appears determined to rebuild his life away from the pitch. Sources close to the former Barcelona defender say he has found “peace and purpose” through his renewed faith, spending much of his time attending prayer sessions and sharing his testimony with others.
Many fans and observers see this as a powerful redemption story — a man once defined by controversy now seeking to inspire others through spirituality. Whether he will ever return to football in any capacity remains uncertain, but for now, Dani Alves seems fully devoted to his new mission: spreading faith, hope, and forgiveness.
