Vasco da Gama , officially Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama , often just called Vasco , is one of the most successful football clubs from the Brazilian metropolis of Rio de Janeiro .

history

The Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama ("Rowing Club Vasco da Gama") was founded on August 21, 1898 by Portuguese immigrants. Rowing was the most important sport in Rio de Janeiro at the time. Inspired by the celebrations for the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the sea route from Europe to India by Vasco da Gama , the founders decided to name the association after the Portuguese navigator.

The football section was established on November 5, 1915. The local rivals are Fluminense , Botafogo and Flamengo , with Flamengo having the greatest rivalry ( Clássico dos Milhões ).

In mid-1931 Vasco, whose team was reinforced by four players from Botafogo FR , traveled to Spain and Portugal - the only second European trip by a Brazilian club after that of CA Paulistano in 1925. In twelve games, including against FC Barcelona, ​​FC Porto, SL Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, the Vasco team coached by Harry Welfare won eight times.

At the end of the 2008 season, the club rose from the top division for the first time in league history, only to return to Série A a year later as first place in Série B. In 2013 he was relegated to the Série B. The direct relegation was followed by relegation in 2015 and promotion in 2016 . Vasco has been back in the top division since 2017.

Stadion

Vasco's home stadium is São Januário , which opened on April 27, 1927 and has a capacity of 31,000. Some games are played in the Maracanã Stadium (73,531 spectators).

The sports club CR Vasco da Gama is active in many sports in addition to football, including basketball player Nenê from the club. The 2004 Olympic qualification for men in water polo took place in the club's outdoor pool, which is located directly at the stadium.
