The Esporte Clube Tigres do Brasil Ltda. is a corporation founded on January 19, 2004 as Esporte Club Poland do Brasil , which is based in Duque de Caxias , an industrial city about 20 km northwest of Rio de Janeiro with around 850,000 inhabitants, and which participates in professional football matches. In practice, the tigers are subordinate to the Poland Quimica petrochemical factory, which also provides management. Local rivals are Duque de Caxias FC .
The Tigers first took part in the First Division of the Rio de Janeiro State Championship in 2009 .
history
Tigres do Brasil was founded in 2004 under the name of the associated petrochemical factory as Esporte Clube Poland Quimica , but the current name was adopted at the end of the year as part of the professionalization of gaming operations. The connection with the chemical company remained.
As early as 2005, the Tigers rose from the third division of Rio to the second division. In the same year, the team from Caxias won the Copa Rio , which, however, was only contested by lower-class teams. In the two finals, Macaé Esporte Futebol Clube was defeated 1-0 and 2-0. In 2008 the Tigers reached second place in the second division behind the traditional club Bangu AC from the north of the city of Rio de Janeiro and qualified together with them for participation in the 2009 national championship.
In the first phase of the Campeonato Carioca , the Taça Guanabara , the team from Duque de Caxias was, however, bottom of the group and had the lowest number of goals scored and the worst goal difference of all participants. In addition, the Tigers are with seven field references in seven games by far beyond all competitors.
Stadium and infrastructure
Stadion
The tigers own Estádio De Los Larios in the Xerém district of Duque de Caxias. The 11,000-seat stadium was inaugurated on January 18, 2009, the day before the fifth anniversary of the Tigers' existence, with a game against Danubio FC , champions of Uruguay in 2007. After the Uruguayan Sergio Leal opened the scoring in the fourth minute, the game ended 4: 4. In the prelude, two Brazilian all-star selection teams faced each other, which featured players from several generations. White won 3: 1 against yellow. Paulo Sérgio scored twice for the team led by Djalminha . The most prominent participant was probably the 1970 world champion, Carlos Alberto Torres . More than 6,000 spectators attended the festival.
The previous attendance record in an official game was set up on February 5, 2009 in the national championship game of Duque de Caxias FC against Fluminense from Rio, which the home team won 3-2 and was attended by 3,608 viewers.
Before this stadium was available, the Tigers played in the Estádio Giulite Coutinho in Mesquita . The 16,000-man stadium, which opened in 2000, is owned by América FC and is expected to double its capacity in the foreseeable future.
Training center
On an area of 24 hectares there are among other things five football fields in standard size, a pool and a muscle training room. There is also a leisure area and accommodation for players.
