The dream of Vinicius Gomes dos Santos, a passionate Internacional fan, came true last Saturday (19). EstrelaBet, the club’s official sponsor, invited Vinicius to attend his first Gre-Nal at the Beira-Rio stadium and see Colorado’s facilities. He watched Colorado win 1-0.
The 28-year-old Bahian, currently a doorman in São Paulo, went viral on social media after being caught encouraging Inter while working as a street vendor in the visiting stands at Morumbi. The game was on September 22nd, in a 3-1 victory against São Paulo.
The incredible journey of Vinicius Gomes dos Santos
Vinicius’ story conquered the internet for portraying his unconditional passion for Internacional. Because, even away from home, he follows the team wherever he can and has already been to two other matches, against Corinthians and Palmeiras, in São Paulo.
The passion is so great that the team’s badge is on the skin with a tattoo on the arm. But, despite the unconditional love, he never had the opportunity to see his favorite club playing in Porto Alegre.
“Vinicius’ story is fantastic and reflects the fans’ genuine passion for the Club. In other words, his passion for the team led him to work at the stadium, moved us and generated several firsts when traveling by plane, getting to know Beira-Rio, the team, watching a Brazilian football classic. We are proud and seek to generate unique and entertaining moments for fans”, says Loreta Caporrino, Head of Branding at EstrelaBet.
Support from EstrelaBet in making a dream come true
Vinicius received an exclusive tour of CT Parque Gigante, as well as a visit to the Inter Museum to delve into Colorado’s rich history. In addition, EstrelaBet also offered Vinicius membership in the Fan Member program for one year.
He stayed in a hotel close to the stadium and lived every moment of this unforgettable experience. So, if you don’t know Vinícius’ story, keep an eye on Internacional‘s social media (@scinternacional) and EstrelaBet (@largabet).
