history
The club was founded in 1967 as Santo André FC by interest groups who saw good development opportunities for professional football in Santo André . It is one of the club's legends that the founding resolution was made by candlelight on a rainy night after a power failure.
Game operations began on January 20, 1968. In March 1975 the association was renamed to today's EC Santo André. The former green and yellow jerseys were also replaced by the blue and white jerseys that are still in use today.
In 1984 Santo André was able to qualify for participation in the national championship competition by performing in the state championship of São Paulo and achieved a good 10th place there.
This remained the greatest success in the club's history until 2004. In that year, Santo André penetrated into the final of the Brazilian Cup after it had eliminated prominent clubs such as Atlético Mineiro and Palmeiras , among others . In the home game against the top team Flamengo from Rio de Janeiro , which was moved to the Palmeiras stadium in São Paulo for capacity reasons , the equalizer to 2-2 fell seven minutes before the end. In the second leg, which took place in the Maracanã Stadium in front of over 70,000 spectators, Santo André won a sensational 2-0.
Santo André was thus qualified for the South American Cup , the Copa Libertadores , but was eliminated there in the group stage against Cerro Porteño from the Paraguayan capital Asunción and São Paulo FC .
At the end of the 2008 season, Santo André took second place in the Brazilian second division, Série B and thus rose for the first time in the first division, the Série A created in its current form in 2003. As an eighteenth, however, the club immediately rose again. Next year, Santo André occupied the same space in the Série B and had the course in the Série C compete. In 2011, he was relegated from the Série A1 of the state championship. In the 2012 season, the club was then in Group B of the Série C of ten teams and was relegated to the D series . Since 2014, the club has stopped playing on a national level.
