Al-Ittihad Club has released a new documentary spotlighting the journey of Brazilian player Anderson Simas Luciano “Tcheco”, one of the key figures in the club’s golden era.

The film traces Tcheco’s story from his unexpected arrival in Jeddah to becoming part of one of the most iconic teams in the club’s history. Despite limited knowledge of Saudi Arabia at the time, Chico quickly found a connection with the country, its people, and the passion surrounding football.

At the heart of the story is the identity of Al-Ittihad itself. Tcheco reflects on the meaning behind the club’s tiger symbol, describing it as a true reflection of the team’s mentality, resilience, relentless, and always pushing forward until the final moment.

The documentary revisits the historic AFC Champions League triumph, where Tcheco recalls the team’s comeback journey, highlighting the role of focus, unity, and belief in achieving continental success. These moments remain among the most defining in the club’s history.

Beyond the trophies, Tcheco speaks about the deep connection with Al-Ittihad’s fans. Their constant support, in both victory and defeat, created a bond that extended far beyond football.

More importantly, the film captures the human side of the journey. For Tcheco, the relationships built with teammates, staff, and everyone within the club remain the most valuable part of his experience, a chapter defined by loyalty, passion, and commitment.

This documentary stands as part of the club’s ongoing efforts to preserve its legacy and share the stories that shaped its identity.
