Will Galvão be on TV in 2025?

So, the announcer opened conversations with Band and SBT, competitors of Globo. The House of Silvio Santos did not even give a return to the team of Galvão, but Bandeirantes was excited with the possible presence of the narrator in his grid for 2025, Vaquer said.

The conversations follow, but the 74-year-old narrator would not like to be the head of a weekly TV show, since he has several professional commitments. In Globo, Luís Roberto, Everaldo Marques and Gustavo Vilani assumed as main announcers of the games of the main football championships and the Brazilian Selection.

Galvão does not have a history with the SBT in his career as a journalist, but the Band already enjoyed watching him shine in Formula 1 races in the 1970s and 1980s. Brazil came to know the narrator nationally in 1980, with his voice announcing the title of Nelson Piquet in the main category of motor racing.

Voice of Formula 1 and Brazil in the World Cup

Later, the journalist would move to Globo, where he would share microphones with Luciano do Valle. With the departure of the companion, Galvão became the voice of the races on Sundays at the station and would narrate the three titles of Ayrton Senna (1988, 1990 and 1991).

In 1994, the narrator would have the privilege of telling the story of the Brazilian national team in the world tetracampeonato, USA. From there to here, there were seven more World Cups with Galvão as the protagonist of Globo. The question now remains whether he still intends to make history on the open TV, but on some competitor.
