Joseph Baena has been making waves in the bodybuilding world as a Young LA-sponsored fitness personality. After attending his first Arnold Classic in the UK, the youngest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger just attended the Arnold Classic South America. Baena was a special guest as a sponsored athlete and Arnie’s son. He even managed to catch a high-stakes soccer game.

After the Arnold Classic South America wrapped up, the bodybuilder son of Arnold Schwarzenegger made his way to the Paulistao final between Palmeiras and Santos. The State Championship was at stake between the two teams, and Baena didn’t want to miss the experience. However, the 26-year-old actor wasn’t the only one excited to be at the Allianz Parque.

Palmeiras’ official Instagram handle posted a picture of the bodybuilder holding his custom Palmeiras jersey with “Joseph” printed on the back. Although the caption was in Portuguese, it roughly translates to “International presence at Allianz Parque,” wrote the Sao Paulo-based club. “Joseph Baena, bodybuilder and son of Arnold Schwarzenegger is in the arena,” they added.

Baena also voiced his support for the team in the comments section. The young fitness icon must’ve enjoyed his time because Palmeiras won the finals. The green team defeated Santos with a score line of 2-0 in this year’s Paulistao final. Raphael Veiga scored from the penalty spot in the 33rd minute, taking the lead. Anibal Moreno sealed the deal with another goal in the 67th minute.

The victory must’ve made Baena’s trip that much more enjoyable. He also shared the Palmeiras post on his Instagram story later. Moreover, Joseph Baena had a special moment at the Arnold Classic stage. Although Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn’t attend the Arnold Classic SA, his youngest spoke on stage.

Joseph Baena took center stage

The 26-year-old shared a video by Gabriel Veiga. Veiga recorded a snippet of the actor’s speech at the Arnold Classic SA from the stands. The lookalike son of Arnold Schwarzenegger took his father’s place on the stage as he thanked the sponsors and fans for making the final Arnold Classic of 2024 a successful one.

“This is the tenth anniversary of the Arnold Classic South America. What an amazing show, weekend, festival…” said the 26-year-old. While Arnold Schwarzenegger is usually the one who gives such speeches at his namesake bodybuilding contest, Baena fit the role perfectly.
