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.

据《每日电讯报》报道，为提高矮小人士在社会上的地位，巴西日前建立世界首支"侏儒足球队"(见图)。队员人均身高1.22米，最矮球员身高不足1米。该球队取名为"北方巨人队"。
