Meet the football clubs

Ronaldo is one of Gallo’s greatest idols in football.

The tenth oldest club on the list in Brazil is Atlético Mineiro. Founded in March 1908, the Minas Gerais giants soon established themselves among the top football clubs in Brazil.

The original name was Atlético Mineiro Futebol Clube, and five years later, it adopted the acronym CAM.

It officially began its journey in football that year. Renaldo, known as Baixinho, is now the president of his favorite club.

Another of the oldest clubs in Brazil is Mecão. The beloved Tijucano club has always been one of the giants of the city of Rio de Janeiro.

A seven-time Carioca champion, the team, led by current president Romário, will try to recreate the happy moments experienced in its early days.

Botafogo is one of the oldest clubs in its history. Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas has been a champion since 1904, as the song goes.

Born from the fusion of the Botafogo Rowing Club and the Botafogo Football Club, the club is one of the oldest and most traditional in Brazil.

Indeed, it is “very traditional.”

The club has provided many players for the Brazilian national team in the World Cup and continues its glorious history.

Best Players

Botafogo has produced some of the greatest players in world football, including the legendary Garrincha, known as the “Angel with the Crooked Foot.”

The club has also won 21 state titles and 2 Brazilian championships.

Bangu Atlético Clube, founded 120 years ago, is one of the oldest clubs established by workers in Brazil.

Its foundation is located in the Bangu factory in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro.

The Scottish Thomas Donohoe was one of the biggest fans of this idea.

It’s no surprise that Bangu’s third kit is blue, a tribute to the colors of the Scottish flag.

In the 1980s, the club’s patron was the criminal Castor de Andrade.

Bangu reached the final of the Campeonato Brasileiro in 1985, losing on penalties to Coritiba at the Maracanã Stadium in front of over 91 Bangu fans.

Clube Imortal Tricolor is also among the oldest clubs in Brazil.

It emerged in the city of Porto Alegre, founded by Candido Dias da Silva, who was originally from São Paulo.

After borrowing a football and receiving advice on how to establish a football club, he gathered 30 people in a restaurant and founded the Clube Gaúcho.

Grêmio is one of the giants of Brazilian football.

A three-time Copa Libertadores champion, two-time Brazilian champion, five-time Copa do Brasil champion, and 43-time state champion.

Founded in 1899 as Club de Cricket Victoria, its history in football began on September 13, 1902, when it changed its name to Sports Club Victoria.

It received its current name only in 1946.

The Salvador club has won the Copa do Nordeste four times, and as the current champion of the Brasileirão Série B, Rubro-Negro Baino is one of the giants of northeastern football, having won the state championship 30 times.

Of British origin, with one of its founders being Oscar Cox, the club from the suburb of Larangeras has established itself as one of the giants of Brazilian football.

Fluminense, a club that gathers industrialists, writers, historians, and independent specialists from the beginning of its history, is the current champion of the Copa Libertadores and a four-time Brazilian champion, as well as the Copa do Brasil winner.

Náutico is another of the oldest clubs in Brazil.

Founded in April 1901, the team from Aflitos also originated from a rowing club.

Conclusion

Although there were already informal games, the club formed its first football team five years after its foundation.

Today, the club has won 24 Pernambuco championships, was the vice-champion of the Brazilian championship in 1967, and won the national title in Série C in 2019.

Ponte Preta, my dear “macaco,” love of my life! One of the most traditional clubs with the most passionate fan base in Brazil.

Associação Atlético Ponte Preta was founded on August 11, 1900, by students from the Culto à Ciência College in Campinas, in a neighborhood named after the club.

The students played football in a field near a black bridge, and thus the oldest football club in the state of São Paulo was created.

At the top of the list of the oldest clubs in Brazil is Vovô (the Old Man) himself, Sport Clube Rio Grande.

Based in the city of Rio Grande, the team carries its gaucho roots in its colors.

The gaucho flag is represented by red, green, and yellow in the club’s shield.
