A couple of thousand Botafogo fans have turned out to celebrate the arrival of Clarence Seedorf to Brazil.
The fans welcomed Seedorf at Rio de Janeiro airport on Friday, showing banners and yelling his name.
The Dutch midfielder waved to the nearly 2,000 supporters and draped a Botafogo flag on his shoulder.
Seedorf, who is married to a Brazilian, last week reached a two-year deal with the traditional Rio de Janeiro club.
