Inter and EstrelaBet launch an exclusive realistic collectible statue of the eternal top scorer of shirt number 9. The collector's item, developed in detail by Memorabília do Esporte, portrays Fernandão in a remarkable moment of goal celebration, wearing the uniform reminiscent of the one used in the world conquest.
Made of polystone resin, hand-painted and with a 1/6 scale, the statue is about 27 centimeters tall. Only 500 units will be available, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The pieces can be purchased for R$ 2,006 on the Memorabília do Esporte website (https://memorabiliadoesporte.com.br/fernandao).
“Fernandão is one of the greatest idols in the history of Internacional and the legacy he left for the club is something that will last forever. Being able to provide this action is a way to honor him and to bring back joyful moments to the fans' memory,” states Renan Cavalcanti, CMO of EstrelaBet, sponsor of Internacional since 2022.
"An idol on and off the field, Fernandão deserves all the honors. Now, Inter and EstrelaBet join forces to further eternalize in the memory of the fans the great deeds of the eternal captain. Much more than a decorative piece, the statue aims to move the Colorado fans in this very significant time for all of us", highlights Lucas Butier, business manager of the club.
A collector of great achievements, Fernandão marked an era in the team from Rio Grande do Sul with victories in four state championships, one Recopa Sudamericana, one Libertadores, and one World Club Championship. The Internacional idol passed away in 2014, at the age of 36, in an air accident in the state of Goiás.
