Claudio Bravo, a revered figure in Chilean football and former captain of La Roja, received a heartfelt tribute for his distinguished career prior to the national team's friendly match against Portugal in Oeiras.

Bravo, who retired from professional football in August 2024, was celebrated by the Football Federation of Chile for his significant contributions. During his 20-year international career, he was instrumental in Chile's victories at the Copa América in 2015 and the Copa América Centenario in 2016. He also represented his country in the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups.

Officials, including Pablo Milad, president of the ANFP, and Jorge Yunge, secretary general, presented Bravo with a special award shaped like a goalkeeper's glove.
