EspañolCLUBE DE REGATAS DO FLAMENGO
'Clube de Regatas do Flamengo' is a Brazilian multisport club from Rio de Janeiro.
Despite not being the club's official name, ''Flamengo'' has become the term used by most to refer not just to the football team, but also the entire sporting association. Other nicknames used by fans include ''Fla'', ''Mengo'', and ''Mengão'', as well descriptions of the club's official colors, ''rubro-negro'', which translates to "the scarlet-blacks" or "the scarlet and black."
The club's mascot is the vulture (''Urubu'', in Portuguese). Consequently, fans occasionally use ''Urubu'' as one of the team's nicknames, whereas rival supporters sometimes use the name in pejorative chants.
Flamengo's football team -- the most popular in Brazil with 36million estimated supporters -- placed 9th in ''FIFA Clubs of the 20th Century.
The club has been sponsored by Petrobras since 1984, the longest single sponsorship in any country.
History
Flamengo was founded on November 15, 1895 as a rowing club by José Agostinho Pereira da Cunha, Mário Spindola, Nestor de Barros, Augusto Lopes, José Félix da Cunha Meneses and Felisberto Laport.
The group used to gather at Café Lamas, in the Largo do Machado neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, and decided to form a rowing team. Rowing was the elite sport in Rio de Janeiro in the late 19th century and the youngsters hoped having their own club would make them popular with the young ladies of the city's high society.
They could only afford a used boat named "Pherusa", which had to be completely rebuilt before it could be used in competition. The team debuted on October 6, 1895 when they sailed off the Caju Point, from the Maria Angu beach, heading off to Flamengo beach. However, strong winds turned over the boat and the rowers nearly drowned. They were rescued by a fishing boat named Leal ("Loyal"). Afterwards, as the Pherusa was undergoing repairs, the boat was stolen and never again found. The group then had to save up money to buy a new boat, the "Etoile", renamed "Scyra."
On the night of November 17th, the group, gathered at Nestor de Barros's manor on Flamengo beach, founded the Flamengo Rowing Group ("Grupo de Regatas do Flamengo", in Portuguese) and elected its first board. The name was changed a few weeks later to "Clube de Regatas do Flamengo" ("Flamengo Rowing Club"). The founders also decided that the anniversary of the club foundation should be celebrated on November 15th, so as to coincide with the Day of the Republic, a national holiday.
Flamengo's Rowing Shield.
Flamengo only embraced football when a group of dissatisfied players from Fluminense Football Club broke away from the club following a dispute with the board. The players (Alberto Borghert, Othon de Figueiredo Baena, Píndaro de Carvalho Rodrigues, Emmanuel Augusto Nery, Ernesto Amarante, Armando de Almeida, Orlando Sampaio Matos, Gustavo Adolpho de Carvalho, Lawrence Andrews and Arnaldo Machado Guimarães) decided to join Flamengo because Borgeth, who was the team's captain, was also a rower for Flamengo. Admittance of the new members was approved on November 8, 1911. A motion against the club taking part in football tournaments was defeated, and the members assembly officially created the football team on December 24, 1911.
The new team used to train on Russel beach, and gradually gained the support of the locals, who closely watched their practice games. The first official match was played on May 3, 1912 and is, to this day, the most spectacular victory of the club, as the team defeated Mangueira 16 to 2. The first Fla-Flu (which would eventually become one of the most famous football derbies in the world) was also played in that year, on July 7, and was won by Fluminense, by 3 x 2.
On March 9, 2007, Flamengo earned a commemorative date in Rio de Janeiro state's official calendar. On that day, State Governor Sergio Cabral Filho signed Law 4998, declaring November 17th (the day the club was founded) "the Flamengo day".
Football
Flamengo are one of the four clubs to have never been relegated or removed from the Brazilian First Division, the others being Cruzeiro, Internacional and Vasco da Gama.
Their biggest rivals are the other three top clubs from Rio de Janeiro: Fluminense, Botafogo and Vasco da Gama. Nowadays, Vasco da Gama are considered Flamengo's top rivals, but intensity of football rivalry has changed in Rio over generations: during the 1960s and most of the 1970s, for instance, Flamengo supporters considered Botafogo to be the club's top rival.

('1') ''(main article: Copa União)'' In 1987, difficulties in organizing the national football tournament spawned a controversy that persists to this day. In that year, the 13 most traditional football clubs in Brazil joined in the Club of the Thirteen, due to their discontent with Brazilian football's governing body, the CBF (a move not unlike the creation of club-administered football leagues all over Europe). As a result, two different tournaments were played simultaneously: the "green group", which was organized by the Club of the 13, and the "yellow group", organized by the CBF. Faced with a dilemma and pressured by FIFA to resolve the issue expeditiously, the CBF decided that the champions and runner-ups of the two tournaments would face off in an extra round in which each of the four teams would play the other three. The outcome of the tournament would also determine which two clubs would represent the country in the following year's Copa Libertadores de América. Flamengo and Internacional, champion and runner-up of the "green group", however, both rejected the decision, and Flamengo and Sport Recife each considered itself to be the 1987 Brazilian champions. With no way to go, the CBF declared Sport, winner of the competition it had organized, to be the national champions and awarded them and Guarani Futebol Clube (the "yellow group" runner-ups) the spots in the Copa Libertadores. Flamengo and the Club of the 13, however, have never recognized the decision and it considers itself to be five times Brazilian champion, as Brazilian Supreme Court of Sports recognize the title. Most Brazilian football fans and sports media also consider Flamengo and Internacional to be the champions and runner-ups for the 1987 season.
('2') In 1975, the State of Rio de Janeiro was merged with the State of Guanabara, the former Federal District when the city of Rio de Janeiro was the nation's capital. However, it was only in 1979 that the two state football tournaments were finally unified. As a transition, the state's football governing body decided that all the teams would have to play in two tournaments, with slightly different formats. The decision was controversial and to this day is questioned, but it led to the dispute of two state championships in that year, both won by Flamengo.

The Golden Age
In 1978 a scarlet-black Golden Age was beginning as Flamengo won Rio State Championship. The five following years would be years of glory. Stars as Junior, Carpegiani, Adílio, Cláudio Adão and Tita were led by Zico to become State Champions for three times in a row. The excitement and pride of the achievement pushed Flamengo towards its first Brazilian Championship in 1980. Then, as national champions, the club was qualified to play the South American continental tournament - the Libertadores Cup.
1981 is a landmark year in Flamengo's history. After beating Chilean Cobreloa in three matches, the club became South American Champions. The next goal was clear: the World Club Championship, a single match to be played in Tokyo's Olympic Stadium, Japan, against European Champions' Cup winner Liverpool FC.
Raul, Leandro, Marinho, Mozer, Júnior, Andrade, Adílio, Zico, Tita, Nunes and Lico were the line-up in charge of playing Flamengo's most important match ever on December 13, 1981. Two goals by Nunes, one goal by Adílio, and a brilliant performance by Zico were more than enough to make Flamengo the first Brazilian World Champions club since Pelé's Santos FC.
The next two years would also be great. Another Rio's State Championship in 1981 and two Brazilian Championships - 1982 and 1983 - closed the Golden Age in a fantastic way.
