The Sport Club Americano , also just called Americano , was a football club from Santos , later São Paulo , in the Brazilian state of São Paulo . The club was founded in 1903.
history
The first football club in Santos dated was AA Mackenzie College in 1898 . The CA Internacional of 1902 was also known in its time. In 1903 some members of both clubs decided to found a new one. The founding members were Sizino Patusca , Américo Martins, Antonio Pinto, Manuel Paixão, A. Munhoz and Armando Paixão. The leader of this group was Américo Martins dos Santos and the Americano club was named in his honor .
The training ground was located near the current bus station in Santos. In the early years, the club did not play any league games and only became an addition to the Internacional . In 1907 this changed when Mackenzie College decided not to take part in the São Paulo State Championship. Americano was then invited as a replacement. With the reinforcement of players from Mackenzie College, the club was runner-up behind Internacional .
In 1911 the club relocated to São Paulo. The main reason was to save on trips to the city, where most of the games were played. Despite a distance of less than 100 km, the journeys were still associated with considerable effort.
From 1911 to 1916, the team did not lose any of its 23 games. 15 were won and eight ended in a draw. In 1912 and 1913 the club won the state championship. The second in the APEA association . The APEA was a football association in São Paulo that was founded in 1913 as a competitor to the LPF , which had existed since 1902 . The association existed until 1936. The winners are recognized by today's association FPF .
After AA São Bento was founded in 1914, several players moved to the club and others returned to Mackenzie College. As a result, the club was unable to participate in the state championship in 1914 and 1915. In 1916 they took part in the competition again and came in eighth. After that, Americano was dissolved.
