The BGF backs Tiago Dias’ dreams
The Belief, Future, Goals (BFG), is a fund-raising platform to assist upcoming young talent with opportunities to excel in their fields of talent.
From soccer to music, they identify young talent in local communities, invest in them with the belief for a greater future.
TwoRedPens Marketing Agency is the creator and driver of this platform, using initiatives such as golf days, events and networking opportunities to raise funds that opens doors for future stars.
The first to feature on The BFG is Tiago Dias.
“I had opportunities when I was younger to further my sporting career, but money was limited. My mother’s dedication, love and sacrifices are what helped me become the man I am today. I may not have achieved my sporting dreams, but I have achieved my personal goals and reached success in many areas of my life,” said managing director of TwoRedPens, Harshil Mitha.
Tiago was born on February 5, 2008 – the same date of birth as Portugal soccer star Christiano Ronaldo.
Since before he could walk his favourite toys were always balls of all shapes and sizes and he is now most passionate about football, rugby, cricket and action cricket.
He is a grade four pupil at Curro Nelspruit where he plays for the u/10 A team at fly half. He is passionate about the game and his general rugby knowledge got him selected as the official Springbok mascot for the game against Argentina at Mbombela Stadium in 2016.
He is looking forward to cricket season next term. Last year he was the opening batsman and captain of his team and he finished the season with a batting average of 67.
Tiago started playing action cricket and has been selected to captain the Lowveld side, the Black Knights, at a tournament in Gauteng later this month.
This young boy is the captain of the Sporting Football Club Mbombela u/10 A side and is a midfielder.
Tiago was the only u/9 selected to go to Portugal last year to compete in the Ibercup with a team from Johannesburg.
This year they have selected their u/10 A side from Mbombela to enter the Iber Cup in Estoril, Portugal from July 2 to 7 and they will compete against teams from Europe, Australia, USA, Canada and Asia for the title.
