Accrington Stanley and the Official Accrington Stanley Supporters' Trust (OASST) were delighted to welcome Brazilian journalist Fabricio Cardoso, his wife, Monica, and their sons, Inacio and Olavo, to the Wham Stadium.
Fabricio, who was born in the southern municipality of Pelotas, now lives in the country's financial centre, São Paulo, and first came across the Reds when he and Inacio were playing FIFA on their PlayStation.
They have since followed the club's progress and decided to travel to Lancashire, whilst visiting Europe.
Having landed at Manchester Airport on Tuesday, the family were picked up by OASST chairman, Peter Leatham, and were then given a guided tour of the Wham by Stanley's managing director, David Burgess.
They returned to the stadium for that evening's Sky Bet League Two fixture against AFC Wimbledon and were stood on the Clayton End as goals from Jack Nolan and Ben Woods saw the Reds to a 2-0 victory.
Fabricio said: "When Inacio was a child, we started a career mode on FIFA. As we're not inclined towards easy options, we chose Accrington.
"We justified our choice by the colour of the shirt, the same as our Gremio Esportivo Brasil.
"Gradually, a love beyond fantasy grew within us. We started following Accrington.
"We thought we chose Accrington because of the shirt's colour, but we were wrong. We chose because we had brothers in Lancashire.
"Many thanks to Peter Leatham and David Burgess, club officials, who opened the doors of the home that is now ours too.
"And I thank my children and my girl for their complicity in our madness."
Managing Director, David Burgess added: "We were delighted to welcome Fabricio and his family to the Wham Stadium on Tuesday, firstly for a guided tour and then to that evening's game.
"Everyone at the club hopes they enjoyed their time in East Lancashire, and we hope to see them back very soon."
OASST chairman, Peter Leatham said: "It was a great pleasure to spend the day with the Cardoso family and I was blown away by their knowledge and enthusiasm for our football club.
"Although we broke up our journey with visits to both Old Trafford and the Etihad, they really couldn't wait to arrive at the Wham Stadium.
"The ground tour, kindly hosted by David Burgess, was the stuff of memories for them, as was the hospitality we offered at the game itself.
"The guys enjoyed their time on the Clayton End and soon picked up on the songs and chants, and we really hope they can visit again in the future."
