60 Seconds: Dener's Life Story
A tribute to Brazilian footballer Dener Assunção Braz, who played for Chapecoense before his death in 2016.
Transcript
Dener Assunção Braz was a talented Brazilian footballer whose promising life ended prematurely. Born in Bagé in 1991, he completed his youth development with Grêmio. Dener gained significant professional experience through loan stints at several clubs before joining Ituano in 2014. That year, he became an undisputed starter and helped the team secure the Campeonato Paulista title. By 2016, he had established himself as an essential part of the Chapecoense squad on a permanent contract. Tragically, Dener was among the victims of the LaMia Airlines Flight 2933 crash on November 28, 2016. He is remembered by the football community for his contributions to the sport, including his role in Chapecoense's 2016 Copa Sudamericana achievement, which was awarded to the team posthumously.
