From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sport Club Internacional, also known as Inter or Colorado, is a Brazilian football team from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, founded on April 4, 1909. They play in red shirts, white shorts and socks, the first of which gives the team its nickname of O Colorado, or The Reds. They enjoy a traditional rivalry with the city's other club, Grêmio - with derbies known as a "Gre-Nal"
The team's home stadium is known as the "Giant from the River Bank", or Beira-Rio, on the banks of the Guaíba River, and it holds 56,000, it's actually the biggest soccer stadium at Southern Brazil. [1].
The club's most successful season was in 2006, when Internacional won the FIFA Club World Cup 2006, beating FC Barcelona, in Yokohama, Japan.

Internacional's current stadium is Estádio Beira-Rio, inaugurated in 1969, with a maximum capacity of 56,000 people.[1] Beira-Rio replaced the Estádio dos Eucaliptos, which hosted two 1950 FIFA World Cup matches. Beira-Rio is currently tipped to be one of the venues of a likely FIFA World Cup to be played in Brazil in 2014.
[edit] Anthem
Internacional's anthem was composed by Nélson Silva, in 1957, and is called Celeiro de Ases (meaning "Factory of Aces").
