Club History and Achievements
Clube do Remo started on February 5, 1905, as Grupo do Remo. The people who founded Remo had previously left another club called Sport Club do Pará. On February 14, 1908, Remo was closed down by its members. Later, on March 29, 1908, Remo and Sport Club do Pará made a deal, and Remo officially ended that year.
However, on August 15, 1911, Remo was brought back to life. This happened thanks to people like Antonico Silva, Cândido Jucá, Carl Schumann, and others.
International Tournaments
In 1950, Remo traveled to Venezuela. They were invited by the country's football federation to play in the Caracas International Tournament. Some people believe this tournament was a early version of the Little World Cup. Remo played five matches, winning four of them. They beat teams like La Salle, Unión, Military School, and Deportivo Italia. They only lost one game to Loyola. Remo is still trying to get this title officially recognized by CONMEBOL. If it is accepted, it would be their first international title.
National Successes
Remo has also done well in national competitions in Brazil. In 1993, they finished 7th in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. This was a great achievement for a team from the North of Brazil. In 1991, they reached the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. These results are the best ever for a northern team in both competitions.
In 2000, Remo placed 3rd in the Yellow Module of the Copa João Havelange. This earned them a spot in the final stage of the championship. They were knocked out in the Round of 16 by Sport.
In 2005, the club won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. This was Remo's first national title. The club has also won one Copa Verde title. They have won the Torneio do Norte three times and the Torneio Norte-Nordeste once. Remo is also one of the clubs with the most state championship wins.
Club Symbols
Team Crest
Remo's first emblem was a navy blue rectangle. It had a white anchor in the middle, surrounded by thirteen white stars. After the club was reorganized in 1911, the anchor was replaced. The new design looked like a lifebuoy, with two oars crossing it. At the top, it said "Grupo do Remo," and in the center, the letters "GR" were intertwined.
In 1914, the club changed its name to Clube do Remo. With this change, the shield was updated again. It kept its circular shape but added symmetrical cuts on the sides. These cuts were inspired by British heraldry, a style of design. The letters "GR" changed to "CR."
Over the years, the shield has changed a few times but kept its main style. The most recent change happened in 2013. This update aimed to bring back the club's original look while also making it modern. The shield now has a special finish on its sides and top to make it look 3D. Also, the stars' colors were changed to show how important each title is. Five white stars represent five state titles won in a row. A golden star represents the national title from the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C in 2005.
Club Anthem
The official song, or hymn, of Clube do Remo was created by the poet Antônio Tavernard. He adapted a carnival march that Emílio Albim had written in 1933. This march was for a group called Cadetes Azulinos, made up of athletes and fans. Tavernard changed 30 words of the march to create the anthem for Azulinos Athletes. It was first published in a newspaper on November 4, 1941.
Team Colours and Kits
Raul Engelhard, one of the founders of Grupo do Remo in 1905, studied in England. He was a fan of a rowing club there. He suggested that Remo's official color should be the same as that club's: the imperial blue of the United Kingdom. In 1911, Grupo do Remo became Clube do Remo. Two years later, they played their first Campeonato Paraense wearing shirts with horizontal navy blue and white stripes.
Home Kit Design
Since the club started, navy blue and white have been its official colors. This means that the main uniforms always use navy blue as the most important color. For their away uniforms, the colors are often reversed. The shirt the team wore in its very first football match had horizontal stripes.

Remo Supporters
In the 1970s, a famous magazine called Revista Placar chose the most popular clubs in each Brazilian state. Clube do Remo, also known as Leão Azul, was confirmed as the most popular in Pará. In the 1990s, even more people became fans of Clube do Remo. This was because the club had many successes during that time. They won eight state titles and had strong national campaigns. They also had a long winning streak against their biggest rival, which lasted 33 games.
However, starting in the 2000s, Clube do Remo faced some tough times. They had several setbacks in national competitions. For example, they were relegated from the Série C in 2005. They even reached a point where they did not play in a national championship for three seasons.
Despite these challenges, the number of fans actually grew. A study by IBOPE showed this. Remo was ranked as the largest club in Northern Brazil. It was also 16th among the most supported clubs in the entire country. The study also found that Remo was the fastest-growing club among fans aged 10 to 15. They even surpassed clubs like Botafogo and Fluminense. Most of Remo's fans live in Belém, with numbers ranging from 1 million to 2 million.
Club Rivalries
Remo's biggest rival is Paysandu. Their matches are called the Clássico Rei da Amazônia (Amazon King derby) or Re-Pa. This is the largest football rivalry in the northern region of Brazil. The first game between them was on June 14, 1914, and Remo won 2–1. Remo has won more games in this derby.
Between 1993 and 1997, Remo had a historic winning streak against Paysandu. They played 33 matches without losing, with 21 wins and 12 draws. This streak lasted for 4 years, 5 months, and 24 days. In 2016, the derby was declared an important cultural heritage of the Pará state. It is seen as a cultural expression of the people of Pará. To this day, more than 760 matches have been played between these two clubs. This makes it the football derby with the most games played in history, even more than older derbies in Europe.
Remo also has a smaller rivalry with Tuna Luso. Their first match was on November 15, 1931. It was a friendly game that ended in a 0–0 draw.
Home Stadiums
Remo's main stadium is Evandro Almeida, also known as Baenão. It can hold up to 17,250 people. The stadium is named after Evandro Almeida, who was a football player and employee for Remo. The nickname Baenão comes from the street where the stadium is located, called Travessa Antônio Baena.
The Mangueirão stadium is used for big derby matches against Paysandu. It is also used for other important Remo games. The record attendance for a Remo match at Mangueirão was on November 5, 2000. This was a semifinal game in the Copa João Havelange Group Yellow against Paraná, and 55,000 fans attended.
