Rivaldo was born in a poor family in the Brazilian coastal town of Recife. He was born to Romildo and Marlucia. Along with his two elder brothers and two younger sisters, Rivaldo suffered poverty and hunger. He did not have much to laugh about; in fact he lost his real teeth due to malnutrition and had to have them replaced with a false set. His daily routine was selling souvenirs to tourists in the morning and playing football with his friends in the evening in the beach. The only advantage he had as a boy was the fact that he lived near the beach and could play there and acquire skills. It was in that beach that this great footballer started his career as a footballer.
The only one who believed in Rivaldo was his father. Rivaldo recalls He always said to us that one of the three brothers would be a professional footballer.
