Watch: Swedish club Kalmar AIK players shave heads in support of captain battling cancer

Another moment showing why soccer is more than a game.

Swedish club Kalmar AIK were involved in one of the most beautiful sporting moments of the year, showing support to their cancer-battling captain in perhaps the most emotional way possible.

Kalmar AIK captain, Markus Heman, was diagnosed with a severe form of cancer prior to the start of the 2024-25 season, leaving him out of the squad as they prepare the new campaign — an obvious blow for the club and roster.

As a showing of solidarity and support, however, all players and staff shaved their heads, surprising Heman prior to a team meeting. The reaction is priceless.

This is what it’s all about.

The club announced that they will be playing a match dedicated to Heman and — amidst the video going viral and the support shown worldwide — have decided to open a fundraiser so people all over the world could support Heman with his treatment.

Everyone united for Markus.
