Clube de Regatas do Flamengo is a Brazilian multisport club located in Rio de Janeiro.

Despite not being the club's official name, Flamengo has become the term used by most to refer not just to the football team, but also the entire sporting association. Other nicknames used by fans include "Fla", "Mengo", and "Mengão" (which means Big Mengo), as well descriptions of the club's official colors, rubro-negro, which translates to "the scarlet-blacks" or "the scarlet and black."

Flamengo's football/soccer team --the most popular club in Brazil with an estimated 35 million supporters -- placed 9th in FIFA Clubs of the 20th Century.

The Vulture is the mascot of the club.

[edit] History

Flamengo was founded on November 15, 1895 as a rowing club by José Agostinho Pereira da Cunha, Mário Spindola, Nestor de Barros, Augusto Lopes, José Félix da Cunha Meneses and Felisberto Laport.

The group used to gather at Café Lamas, in the Flamengo neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, and decided to form a rowing team. Rowing was the elite sport in Rio de Janeiro in the late 19th century and the youngsters hoped having their own club would make them popular with the young ladies of the city's high society.

They could only afford a used boat named "Pherusa", which had to be completely rebuilt before it could be used in competition. The team debuted on October 6, 1895 when they sailed off the Caju Point, from the Maria Angu beach, heading off to Flamengo beach. However, strong winds turned over the boat and the rowers nearly drowned. They were rescued by a fishing boat named Leal ("Loyal"). Afterwards, as the Pherusa was undergoing repairs, the boat was stolen and never again found. The group then had to save up money to buy a new boat, the "Etoile", renamed "Scyra."

On the night of November 17, the group, gathered at Nestor de Barros's manor on Flamengo beach, founded the Flamengo Rowing Group ("Grupo de Regatas do Flamengo", in Portuguese) and elected its first board. The name was changed a few weeks later to "Clube de Regatas do Flamengo" ("Flamengo Rowing Club"). The founders also decided that the anniversary of the club foundation should be celebrated on November 15, so as to coincide with the Day of the Republic, a national holiday.

Flamengo only embraced football when a group of dissatisfied players from Fluminense Football Club broke away from the club following a dispute with the board. The players (Alberto Borghert, Othon de Figueiredo Baena, Píndaro de Carvalho Rodrigues, Emmanuel Augusto Nery, Ernesto Amarante, Armando de Almeida, Orlando Sampaio Matos, Gustavo Adolpho de Carvalho, Lawrence Andrews and Arnaldo Machado Guimarães) decided to join Flamengo because Borgeth, who was the team's captain, was also a rower for Flamengo. Admittance of the new members was approved on November 8, 1911. A motion against the club taking part in football tournaments was defeated, and the members assembly officially created the football team on December 24, 1911.

The new team used to train on Russel beach, and gradually gained the support of the locals, who closely watched their practice games. The first official match was played on May 3, 1912 and is, to this day, the most spectacular victory of the club, as the team defeated Mangueira 16 to 2. The first Fla-Flu (which would eventually become one of the most famous football derbies in the world) was also played in that year, on July 7, and was won by Fluminense, by 3-2.

[edit] The Golden Age (1978-1983)

In 1978 a scarlet-black Golden Age was beginning when Flamengo won the Rio de Janeiro State Championship. The five following years would be years of glory. Stars as Júnior, Carpegiani, Adílio, Cláudio Adão and Tita were led by Zico to become State Champions for three times in a row. The excitement and pride of the achievement pushed Flamengo towards its first Brazilian Championship in 1980. Then, as national champions, the club was qualified to play the South American continental tournament - the Libertadores Cup.

1981 is a landmark year in Flamengo's history. After beating Chilean Cobreloa in three matches, the club became South American Champions. The next goal was clear: the World Club Championship, a single match to be played in Tokyo's Olympic Stadium, Japan, against European Champions' Cup winner Liverpool FC.

Raul, Leandro, Marinho, Mozer, Júnior, Andrade, Adílio, Zico, Tita, Nunes and Lico were the line-up in charge of playing Flamengo's most important match ever on December 13, 1981. Two goals by Nunes, one goal by Adílio, and a brilliant performance by Zico were more than enough to make Flamengo the first Brazilian World Champions club since Pelé's Santos FC, beating Liverpool 3-0, with all goals on the first half.

The next two years would also be great. Another Rio's State Championship in 1981 and two Brazilian Championships - 1982 and 1983 - closed the Golden Age in a fantastic way.

[edit] 2007 season

On March 9, 2007, Flamengo earned a commemorative date in Rio de Janeiro state's official calendar. On that day, State Governor Sérgio Cabral Filho signed Law 4998, declaring November 17 (the day the club was founded) "the Flamengo day".

In the 2007 Brazilian Football Championship, Flamengo surprised all the other teams at the half of the season winning many games at home, leaving the relegation zone and reaching the second place and then being defeated the last match in Recife (Pernambuco) by Náutico(Brazilian team from Pernambuco), by 1-0. After this match, Flamengo finished the Championship at the third place, leaving from the second worst to the third best.

[edit] 2008 season

Flamengo started the year by winning the Rio de Janeiro State Championship over arch rival Botafogo. However a couple of days later, in the late rounds of Libertadores Cup, the team was eliminated at home by Club América from Mexico. In this very day, Joel Santana, a well appreciated coach by Flamengo fans, coached his last match before taking South Africa National Football Team. Experts say that the team was eliminated because the finals against Botafogo took a heavy toll on the players stamina and endurance for the matchup against América. The 0-3 score was the biggest headline in the soccer world in the following day as Flamengo had won easily 4-2 in Azteca Stadium. The elimination at Maracanã was labeled by the world press as a second "Maracanazo".

[edit] Football

Flamengo is one of the three clubs to have never been relegated or removed from the Brazilian First Division, the others being Cruzeiro and Internacional.

Their biggest rivals are the other three top clubs from Rio de Janeiro: Fluminense, Botafogo and Vasco da Gama. Nowadays, Vasco da Gama are considered Flamengo's top rivals, but intensity of football rivalry has changed in Rio over generations: during the 1960s and most of the 1970s, for instance, Flamengo supporters considered Botafogo to be the club's top rival, although the most historical rivalry is with Fluminense, dating from the beginning of football in the club, at 1912.

⁽¹⁾ (main article: Copa União) In 1987, CBF had monetary difficulties in organizing the national football tournament spawned a controversy that persists to this day. In that year, running the risk of not having a national championship, the 13 most traditional football clubs in Brazil joined in the Clube dos 13, due to their discontent with Brazilian football's governing body, CBF, and to form a national championship to that year (a move not unlike the creation of club-administered football leagues all over Europe). CBF agreed with their rules and would legitimate that championship as a Brazilian Championship. Later time, seeing the fame and glory of the new Copa União, CBF created and formed another group, the "Brazil's Cup", reuniting 2 clubs that stayed out of "Copa União" and the other teams of second division. So, two modules appeared: the Copa União (Union Cup), first division of the Brazilian soccer and "green module", which was organized by the Clube dos 13, and the "yellow module", officially named by "Copa Brasil"(Brazil's cup), organized by the CBF and considered to be the second division. With the fear to lose power to the new Clube dos 13, the CBF decided that the champions and runner-ups of the two tournaments would face off in an extra round in which each of the four teams would play the other three. The outcome of the tournament would also determine which two clubs would represent the country in the following year's Copa Libertadores de América. Clube dos 13, who organized Copa União, didn't agree with this crossing, so, Flamengo, the champion, and Internacional, the runner-up, never played that games. Then CBF declared Sport winner of the competition it had organized, to be the national champions and awarded them and Guarani Futebol Clube (the "yellow group" runner-ups) the spots in the Copa Libertadores. However, Flamengo, the other original twelve members of the Club of the Thirteen, the Brazilian Supreme Court of Sports and most of the Brazilian media have never recognized the decision, declaring Flamengo the real champion.

⁽²⁾ In 1975, the State of Rio de Janeiro was merged with the State of Guanabara, the former Federal District when the City of Rio de Janeiro was the nation's capital. However, it was only in 1979 that the two state football tournaments were finally unified. As a transition, the state's football governing body decided that all the teams would have to play in two tournaments, with slightly different formats. Both tournaments were won by Flamengo.

Main article: Estádio da Gávea

Inside view of Maracanã

Flamengo's home stadium is nominally the José Bastos Padilha Stadium (also known as Gávea Stadium), which was inaugurated on September 4, 1938 and has a capacity of 8,000 fans. Lately Gávea Stadium has being used only as the first team's training ground. Most games, however, are played in Maracanã Stadium, considered by the supporters as the real Flamengo's home ground.

Maracanã was vital in the incredible 2007 Brazilian Série A Flamengo comeback, winning almost all the matches played in the Stadium, helping the club rise from the relegation zone to finish in third place securing a place in the Copa Libertadores 2008. The Stadium held the 2007 Brazilian Série A attandence's records, with 87.895 fans against Atlético Paranaense and average attandence of 44.719 fans per match, which was ahead of any of the teams in the Brazilian Série A.

In 2008, once again, Flamengo was the leader of Brazilian Série A average attendance with 43.731 fans per match^[3]. The club also had the biggest attendance of the season with 81.317 fans in the 0-3 loss to Atlético Mineiro on October 11, 2008^[4].
