Brazilians have laid claim to being the first country with a football team made up entirely of dwarves (see photo), the Daily Telegraph reported. The average size of the team is about 1.22m, while the smallest player is less than 1m. The team, named Gigantes do Norte - the Giants of the North - was set up in an effort to raise the profile of dwarves in Brazilian society.

據《每日電訊報》報道，為提高矮小人士在社會上的地位，巴西日前建立世界首支"侏儒足球隊"(見圖)。隊員人均身高1.22米，最矮球員身高不足1米。該球隊取名為"北方巨人隊"。
