Brazil
Estádio Beira-Rio
Estádio Beira-Rio is SC Internacional's home stadium, located on the Rio Guaíba shoreline in Porto Alegre. Its official name is Estádio José Pinheiro Borba, the name of a Portuguese engineer who supervised the building of the stadium for many years, thus becoming the biggest accomplisher of his own dream. Unfortunately, he died before seeing it complete. It was constructed with the help of the club's enthusiasts and supporters. They contributed bringing bricks, concrete and iron. The stadium's attendance record stands at 106 000, set in June 1972 when a Rio Grande do Sul football team played against Brazil's national team.
