The Club Athletico Paranaense - usually called Athletico Paranaense for short in German , often also listed as Athletico-PR - is a Brazilian football club from Curitiba , the capital of the state of Paraná .

history

In 2001 Atlético Paranaense became Brazilian football champions for the first time and was in the final of the Copa Libertadores in 2005 . From January to March 2006 Lothar Matthäus was the first team coach. The German international Paulo Rink played from 1992 to 1997 and from September 2006 to May 2007 for Athlético Paranaense. By winning the Copa Sudamericana 2018 , the club celebrated its first international title on December 12, 2018. The day before, the club had announced that it would change the spelling of its club name from Atletico to Athletico with an h . At the same time, a new club logo was presented.

Stadion

The home stadium of the football club is the club's own Arena da Baixada ("Estádio Joaquim Américo Guimarães"). The football arena with around 42,000 seats is commonly called Arena da Baixada or Arena do Atlético Paranaense . In 2005 it became the first stadium in Brazil to bear the name of a sponsor. The contract with the Japanese computer accessories company Kyocera expired in April 2008. The Kyocera Arena has since reverted to its traditional name, which goes back to a club president of Internacional .

The origins of the stadium go back to 1914. At the opening game on September 6, 1914, the hosts Internacional were clearly defeated 7-1 by the guests of honor from Rio de Janeiro, the Flamengo Rio de Janeiro . Between 1970 and 1984 the stadium lay fallow. In 1995 the stadium was completely demolished. On June 24, 1999, today's structure was opened with a game between Atlético and Club Cerro Porteño from Paraguay, which the red-blacks won 2-1. On December 16, 2001, 31,740 spectators attended the first leg of the championship final between Atlético and AD São Caetano , in which Atlético prepared for their ultimate success that year with a 4-2 victory. The attendance record still exists today.
