Sport Club Internacional


Sport Club Internacional, also known as Inter, is a traditional Brazilian football team from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, founded on April 4, 1909. Their home stadium is the Beira-Rio, capacity 56,000. They play in red shirts, white shorts and socks.
As of 2006, Internacional are the FIFA Club World Cup champions.
Early in the 20th Century, three young men from São Paulo who had recently arrived in Porto Alegre wanted to play soccer. But were not admitted at any club in town, because they were newcomers in Porto Alegre so they decided to found their own club. On the night of Monday, April 4, 1909, in the basement of a house, and driven by three men (brothers Henrique and José Poppe Leão, and Luiz Madeira Poppe) 40 young men (twice more people than expected to attend the reunion) founded Sport Club Internacional.
