Sport Club do Recife, more popularly known as Sport in Recife or Sport Recife in Southern Brazil, are a football team from Recife, Pernambuco.
On May 13, Sport Club do Recife was founded by Guilherme de Aquino Fonseca after a meeting between the 23 founders at Associação dos Empregados do Comércio (In English "Commerce Employees Association") of Pernambuco, who loaned their great hall to the newly-formed club.
The first Sport Recife match was in 1905, against a team called English Eleven. The match ended in a draw. Torquatro Gonçalves scored a goal for Sport.
Sport's major title was the CBF Brazilian Championship of 1987. The victory did not come without controversy. Annoyed by the inconsistency of the Brazilian Football Confederation, the thirteen clubs with the largest fan bases in Brazil formed a group, known as the Clube dos 13, to organize a parallel championship, the Copa União, free from CBF authority (a move not unlike the creation of club-administered football leagues all over Europe). Since the official championship would have been a fiasco without the most popular teams in the country, the CBF decided the winner and runner-up of the Copa União (also known as Green Module) should face the winner and runner-up of the Yellow Module in order to decide the Brazilian champion -- a move which was not approved by the Clube dos 13.
Consequently, Flamengo and Internacional, winners and runner-ups of the Copa União, refused to face Sport and Guarani , which had shared the Yellow Module title after deciding to interrupt penalty shoot-out. Since Flamengo and Internacional did not show up, the CBF championship finals consisted only of a rematch of the Yellow Module finals. In the first game, in Campinas, both teams tied 1-1. On February 7, 1988, Sport beat Guarani 1-0 and became the first Northeastern team to win the national title (a feat only matched by Bahia in the 1988 championship).
Clube dos 13 and CND (Conselho Nacional de Desportos - "Sports National Council") supported Flamengo and Internacional in their claim and declared Flamengo as the 1987 Brazilian Champions. Ultimately, however, CBF declared Sport to be the national champions, and the club, along with Guarani, represented Brazil in the 1988 Copa Libertadores de América.
