Argentina HubThe Argentina national team is set to face Cape Verde in the 2026 World Cup. Garry Rodrigues, the footballer who worked as a mailman at night, is one of the key players of the African team.
Who is Garry Rodrigues?
Garry Rodrigues was born on November 27, 1990, in Rotterdam, Netherlands. From a young age, he lived with two identities: the city where he grew up and the country of origin of his family.
How did he become a professional footballer?
While trying to make a place for himself in the lower divisions of Feyenoord, he had to get a job because football was not yet enough to support himself. So he started working at TNT Post, where he classified and delivered mail. During the day he trained and at night he worked as a mailman.
What led him to represent Cape Verde?
The call to represent Cape Verde came in 2013, when he was about to turn 23. Although he could also play for the Netherlands, the country where he was born, he did not hesitate to accept the call due to the strong bond he maintains with his family's roots.
