Clube de Regatas do Flamengo

Clube de Regatas do Flamengo is a Brazilian multisport club from 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.
Flamengo's football team -- the most popular in Brazil with 36million estimated supporters -- placed 9th in FIFA Clubs of the 20th Century.
Flamengo was founded on November 15, 1895 .
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 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.
