Brazilian sportsman, Dovenir Domingues Neto, often simply referred to as ''Neto'', is recognised as one of the best futsal players in the world, and this past Wednesday his transfer to a Croatian club (FC Split Tommy) was confirmed on February 18, 2016.

Neto, the 34 year old defender from Uberlandia, Brazil, comes to Split after winning the World Cup with Brazil, 2 European titles, 3 Brazilian league titles, 2 Spanish titles and 3 Spanish cups, he also won the Golden Boot at the World Cup back in 2012.

“I chose Split Tommy because the club believes in Brazilian players and Croatia is a country where the futsal scene is growing. I would like to thank Mr. Čaglj who believes in me and I will do all I can to return that faith. I want to find out what type of city Split is as I heard it is a nice city and a nice place to live which made my decision easier,” Neto stated.

His arrival in Split is expected on 15th March 2016.
