Remo

Clube do Remo (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈklubi du ˈhemo]), or Remo, as they are usually called, is a Brazilian football team from Belem in Para, founded on 5 February 1905.

History

Clube do Remo was founded on 5 February 1905, as Grupo do Remo. The founders, before founding Remo, had abandoned Sport Club do Para. On 14 February 1908, Remo was closed, after the club's general assembly. On 29 March 1908, Remo's partners and Sport Club do Para made a deal, and Remo was officially extinct in 1908. On 15 August 1911, Remo was reorganized following the initiative of Antonico Silva, Candido Juca, Carl Schumann, Elzaman Magalhaes, Geraldo Motta, Jayme Lima, Norton Corllet, Oscar Saltao, Otto Bartels and Palmerio Pinto.

In 1950, Remo held a tour to Venezuela at the invitation of the football federation of the country to compete in the Caracas International Tournament, which, according to some publications, may have been the precursor of the Little World Cup, played between the 1950s and 1960s. The team held five matches, getting four wins (La Salle, Union, Military School and Deportivo Italia) and only one loss to Loyola, considering the higher strength of the Venezuelan football at the time. Remo is still seeking official recognition of the title by the CONMEBOL. If accepted, will be the first international title in club history.

Remo also has great campaigns on the national scene. His most outstanding campaigns were the 7th place in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A in 1993 and the semifinals in the Copa do Brasil in 1991 – these results represent the best performance of a northern team in the history of both competitions.

In 2005, the club won the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie C. This was the club's first national title. The club also has three titles in the Taca Norte and 1 Torneio Norte-Nordeste, as well as being one of the largest state winners.
