Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, usually called Palmeiras. Is a Brazilian football team from São Paulo, Brazil, founded on August 26, 1914, as Società Sportiva Palestra Italia, but changed to the current name on September 14, 1942. It is one of the most popular and traditional Brazilian clubs.
Palmeiras was founded by four Italian men who were members of the Italian-speaking community of São Paulo and was initially named Società Sportiva Palestra Italia. Its original colors were red, white and green (those of Italy). The name change occurred during World War II. Brazil entered the war supporting the allies and its dictatorship forced Palestra Italia to change its name because of the reference to Italy. The original badge is still present in the current one and the club has used red as a third colour (mostly in friendship games during the club's 75th anniversary).
Several other clubs whose names alluded to enemy foreign countries either disappeared (like Germania) or were renamed during the same period. Another Brazilian club that was once also called Palestra Italia is Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. However Palmeiras was the original Palestra Italia, since it was founded about a decade before Cruzeiro.
Palmeiras plays at the Palestra Itália stadium (also nicknamed Parque Antártica because the area was a park built by Antarctica Paulista Company in the beginning of the last century). The venue has seats for 35,000
