Sport Club Internacional inaugurated a bronze statue honoring Abel Braga at the Beira-Rio Stadium on September 1, coinciding with his 74th birthday. The ceremony was attended by club officials, family, and hundreds of supporters.

The 1.90-meter tall, 200-kilogram sculpture, sponsored by Allu, depicts Braga celebrating a goal during the 2006 Club World Cup final. The monument is situated near the Inter Museum, adjacent to the statue of Fernandão.

Braga, who currently serves as the club’s technical director, has completed eight different stints as head coach. His career highlights include leading the team to Copa Libertadores and Club World Cup titles in 2006, as well as helping the club avoid relegation in 2025.
