Inter de Limeira Ends 35-Year Wait for Serie B Return

Inter de Limeira has achieved a remarkable promotion back to Serie B after a 35-year absence, with the support of Brazilian legends Ronaldo Nazario and Roberto Carlos. The team clinched this milestone despite a final-day 2-0 loss, as their rivals could only manage a draw in a postponed match.

Historic Promotion Secured Despite Final Defeat

The São Paulo club edged out Brusque on goals scored in Group B of Serie C to claim their spot in the second tier. This success marks a significant turnaround under new ownership, backed by the iconic duo. Even though Inter de Limeira lost to group leaders Ferroviaria, the results elsewhere guaranteed their promotion.
