Player name
Cafumana goes by the name Show. He told FIFA: "My grandfather on my father's side was also a player and operated on the wing. In the neighbourhood, his on-field exploits were often like a show, and the nickname stuck. With me being his first grandchild, he said: 'This boy has to be my namesake'. And he also gave me the nickname. That's where it came from." [10]
