Kaka Gives Away Trophy

After having won the FIFA World Player of the Year award last month, Kaka has given the trophy he won to his local church in Brazil for a short while.

A spokesperson for Kaka said that the player was a very religious person and wanted to give something back to his local church. He has given it to a Sao Paulo temple to display for a while.

Kaka won the award after he was voted the best player in the world by national managers and team captains in December. The Brazilian born Kaka beat Argentine playmaker Leo Messi who came second and Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo who finished third.

Kaka has not yet decided how long the trophy will be on display in his local church. Kaka in recent times has shown his faith by raising his arms to the Gods every time he scores a goal for AC Milan or Brazil.

Kaka played against Boca Juniors in the FIFA Club World Cup last month and wore a t-shirt during that match under his AC Milan one that had the words ‘I belong to Jesus’ written on it. He offered this t-shirt to the Brazil president after the game.

Kaka has plans to become an evangelical minister when he retires from playing football professionally.
