Thiago Suman Recounts How He Went Viral With Casimir Miguel of Cazé TV During the Copa

Thiago Suman, a partner at PlayersForLife and journalist for Folha TV, recently shared an anecdote about his viral moment with Casimiro Miguel, one of the owners of Caze TV. Caze TV holds the official broadcasting rights for the 2026 World Cup on YouTube. Suman’s interview also discussed Inferno Radio and professional international press coverage of football in Rio Grande do Sul. Folha TV, a partner of PlayersForLife, has seen significant growth, surpassing Flow Podcast in live viewership and reaching 2 million monthly live viewers. Additionally, Folha Democrat addressed the launch of the Crash video game book at a trade union event. The publication later rebranded as Folha TV and has since amassed 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube. This partner channel, also associated with PlayersForLife, achieved 2.5 million views in December and 2.6 million in January, and features a program with PlayersForLife. Thiago Suman also contributes narration to Sportynet. Caze TV’s broadcasting presence extends beyond Casimiro Miguel’s individual YouTube channel. Ahead of the 2022 World Cup, Livemode was contracted by the digital rights holder to transmit 32 matches on YouTube.

During the 2022 World Cup, Cabo Verde’s goalkeeper, Vozinha, gained over 1.6 million followers following his team’s match against Spain. His follower count continued to grow even after the game concluded. Cabo Verde achieved a draw against Spain, the current European champions and a favorite for the 2026 World Cup title. In that match, the Spanish team did not perform at its best and failed to score against Cabo Verde. Vozinha was recognized as the “man of the match,” blocking numerous Spanish shots and winning over viewers on Caze TV. Casimiro Miguel actively encouraged his audience to follow Vozinha on Instagram, launching a campaign in his support, mirroring similar initiatives Caze TV undertook during the Olympics and Paralympics in Paris. Caze TV’s swift establishment proved successful in this venture.
