The oldest man in the world, Brazilian nun sister Inah Canabarro Lucas, was 116 years old.

Born on June 8, 1908 in Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil, Inah Canabarro Lucas became a Catholic nun in his 20s.

Her family said she always celebrates her birthday with cakes from the stadium of her beloved sports club International Sports Club.

Inah's sister was blessed by Pope Francis in 2018, saying "He (God) is the secret of life". Now the title of the oldest man will be passed from Surrey, England to Ethel Caterham, 115.

Inah's sister's nephew said the 116-year-old was not sick, but her body "gradually stopped" working. She died in a house in the Teresian Sisters in Port Alegre, part of her.

She is a keen football fan who once celebrated her 116th birthday in a scarf of her favorite team.

She also owns several international shirts and even pillows decorated with team logos, according to media reports.

Sports Club International Club posted a message of mourning on X, saying it was “learned with the great sorrow of her death” and celebrated her life, based on kindness, faith and love for the football club.

Sister Rita Fernandes Barbosa, coordinator of the religious residence in which Inah lives, told RBS TV that the 116-year-old has lived a good life.

Sister Rita said the nun did not perform any surgery until she had a cataract surgery at 106.

Her family said that at the end of her life she could not hear or see, but she liked to stick to a routine.

"She loves to get up, eat, pray and sleep," her relative told Brazilian TV.

One Teresian Nun said the Ina sisters “never complained.”

Sisters Terezinha Aragon told Brazilian TV in January: "She was very grateful and happy when Sister Inah became the oldest person in the world after the death of the title holder, the 116-year-old Japanese woman tomiko itooka.

Born on June 8, 1908, Inah has been in a religious career since her early days and joined a religious boarding school at the age of 16.

She lived in Montevedio, the capital of Uruguay, for a while before she made a vow, but returned to Brazil in 1930, where she taught Portugal and mathematics at a school in Rio de Janeiro.

The Rita sisters extended the 116-year-old's discipline.

“She has discipline in her work and life, she always works a lot and is always very social and enthusiastic.”
