Wikipedia - America Football Club (Rio de Janeiro)
America Football Club, usually abbreviated to America-RJ or simply America, is a Brazilian football team based in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in the northern neighborhood of Tijuca. The team competes in Campeonato Carioca Série A2, the second tier of the Rio de Janeiro state football league.
Founded on 18 September 1904, the club competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A several times, winning the state championship seven times. The club's home stadium is the Estádio Giulite Coutinho, which has a capacity of 16,000. They play in red shirts, white shorts and red socks.
The football anthem composer Lamartine Babo was a supporter of America. America's mascot is a devil. America also sponsors a beach American football team, the America Red Lions.
History
On 18 September 1904, Alberto Koltzbucher, Alfredo Guilherme Koehler, Alfredo Mohrsted, Gustavo Bruno Mohrsted, Henrique Mohrsted, Jayme Faria Machado and Oswaldo Mohrsted founded America Football Club. In 1905, America, together with Bangu, Botafogo, Petrópolis, Fluminense and Futebol Atlético Clube founded Liga de Football do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro Football League), which was the first football federation of Rio de Janeiro. In 1913, the club won the state championship for the first time.
For the 1971 season, the club competed in the national Championship's first edition, finishing in 11th place.
The yellow star just above their emblem represents their win in the Tournament of the Champions (Torneio dos Campeões) in 1982, which was a tournament organized by CBF to serve as a preview to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A tournament. Flamengo declined the invitation so America, the team with the best record after the selected teams, was invited to fill the spot. America won the tournament by beating Guarani in overtime at Maracanã stadium.
In 2006, America was the runner-up of Taça Guanabara. America played the final against Botafogo.
In 2008, America suffered a major blow by being relegated to the Second Division of the Campeonato Carioca. However, they won the Second Division in 2009, thus being promoted to the first level in 2010. However, the club was relegated again in 2011 and wouldn't return to the top flight until 2015. The team has since been a yo-yo club and, as of 2024, is in the second tier of Rio de Janeiro football.
The club plays its home matches at the Estádio do Engenhão, a modern venue that showcases the team's competitive spirit and dedication to the sport. América RJ has experienced various successes over the years, including multiple state championships and notable performances in national competitions.
The team is recognized for its commitment to developing young talent, often integrating promising players from its youth academy into the first team. This focus on nurturing homegrown talent has helped maintain the club's competitive edge in Brazilian football.
With a legacy that blends tradition and ambition, América RJ continues to strive for excellence on the pitch, aiming to reclaim its place among the elite in Brazilian soccer. The club's motto reflects its enduring spirit: "A vitória é a nossa paixão" (Victory is our passion), embodying the determination and pride that define América RJ.
