Godwin is the captain of the green soccer team that plays at the Zuma festival. Sunny thinks he’s cute from the moment she sets eyes on him on the funky train to the festival. Though Godwin is initially unwilling to let Sunny play on the grounds that she’s female and girls can’t play, he ultimately gives in. He prioritizes giving everyone on his team a fair shot to play, so while he’s initially annoyed that his brother invited small, inexperienced boys to join the team, he tries to ensure that everyone has fun and can feel successful.
