The Santos Futebol Clube , commonly known in German-speaking countries as FC Santos , is a football club from Santos , a port city in the Brazilian state of São Paulo . The club was founded on April 14, 1912 as the "Santos Foot-Ball Clube" by Raimundo Marques, Mário Ferraz de Campos and Argemiro de Souza Júnior. On June 22, 1912, the team played their first game. The best-known player in the club's history is Pelé . The exceptional footballer, named “Athlete of the Century” by the International Olympic Committee in 1999 , started his career with Santos in 1956 at the age of fifteen. With Pelé, Santos won both the Copa Libertadores and the World Cup in 1962 and 1963 .
The home stadium, Estádio Urbano Caldeira , also known as Vila Belmiro , was inaugurated on October 12, 1916. Nowadays it has an official capacity of around 18,000 spectators. At a game against Corinthians São Paulo in 1964, 33,000 spectators were counted. The club is known for generating many new talents, such as Pelé, Robinho, Neymar or Gabriel Barbosa. For major events, Santos sometimes moves to the much larger Estádio do Morumbi in São Paulo.
Many internationally known Brazilian players used to work for Santos FC. In addition, the club has had a successful women's football department since 1997, with an interruption from 2012 to 2014 .
