Doda to ride for Greece

Álvaro Affonso de Mirada Neto, “Doda” has been commissioned by the Greek Equestrian Federation to represent Greece in the forthcoming international show jumping events.

He will drop his Brazilian nationality and opt for Greek citizenship. This change in nationality will have to be approved by the FEI when they meet this week in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Love struck over three years ago when a teenage bilionaire Athina Onassis met Doda, as he is known, while both were pursuing their love of horseriding in Belgium.
