This is part of a series highlighting Latin people in the Fantasy Football Industry. 5 of 30

The expression goes good things come in threes, and in the Latin Heritage Highlight series Brazilian content creators are being featured for the third day in a row! There could be more to come but today we focus on a true pillar in the fantasy football community. Rui Maurício is someone that you may not know, but have utilized his creations and contributions to fantasy football. If you ever use #fantasyfootball on X (formerly twitter), the FF Robot will receive it and kick it back out to the public, giving that particular post a boost. That alone is amazing, but Rui contributes much more than that to fantasy football.

Rui had this to say about his fantasy football experience and content creation;
I discovered FF through my friends who also loved the game back in 2015, when we started playing our very first league together (that league has been active for the 9th season and most of us consider it our “home league”). Two years later, Caio Ribeiro (one of those friends) invited me to start talking about FF, and we founded “Brazil Fantasy Football”, the biggest FF website in our country. As of now, I still manage the website and our social media channels with the help of 11 more incredible guys. For those interested, it’s @brffootball everywhere and the website is https://brffootball.com.br.

My favorite FF moment was back in 2017 when I drafted Todd Gurley in the 3rd round of that “home league” and he crushed those fantasy playoffs, the only title I have on that league so far. I hope to be on Canton someday for the FF Expo and meet so many nice guys in the industry I admire so much.

There you have it, creating the largest fantasy football website in the largest country, with the largest latin population! That is not an easy feat, and took/takes a lot of teamwork and energy. Rui, thank you for everything you do for the fantasy football community, and know it is noticed and appreciated.

Thank you reading, please come back tomorrow as we highlight another Latin in the Fantasy Football Community.
