History of Clube do Remo
How Remo Started
Clube do Remo began on February 5, 1905, as Grupo do Remo. The people who started it had left another club called Sport Club do Pará. In 1908, Remo was closed down. But on August 15, 1911, it was brought back to life! This happened thanks to people like Antonico Silva and Carl Schumann.
Remo's International Adventure
In 1950, Remo went on a special trip to Venezuela. They played in a tournament called the Caracas International Tournament. Some people think this tournament was a very early version of the "Little World Cup." Remo played five games there, winning four and losing only one. The club is still trying to get this title officially recognized by CONMEBOL, which is the main football organization in South America. If it happens, it would be their first international title!
Big Moments in National Competitions
Remo has also done very well in national competitions in Brazil. In 1993, they finished 7th in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. This was a great achievement. In 1991, they reached the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. These results are the best any team from northern Brazil has achieved in these big tournaments.
In 2005, Remo won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. This was a huge moment because it was the club's first national title! They have also won other important regional titles, like the Copa Verde once, the Torneio do Norte three times, and the Torneio Norte-Nordeste once.
What Are Remo's Symbols?
The Club's Crest (Logo)
Remo's first logo was a navy blue rectangle with a white anchor. After the club was restarted in 1911, the anchor was replaced. The new logo looked like a lifebuoy with two oars. It had "Grupo do Remo" written at the top and the letters "GR" in the middle.
In 1914, the club changed its name to Clube do Remo. The logo changed too. It kept its round shape but added some special cuts on the sides. These cuts were inspired by British designs. The letters "GR" became "CR" for Clube do Remo.
Over the years, the logo has changed a bit, but its main style stayed the same. The most recent change was in 2013. This update made the logo look more modern. It also changed the stars on the logo. Five white stars show their five state titles in a row. A golden star represents their national title from 2005.
The Club's Anthem
The official song of Clube do Remo was created by the poet Antônio Tavernard. He took a carnival song from 1933 and changed its words. This new song became the anthem for the "Azulinos Athletes." It was first published in a newspaper on November 4, 1941.
What Are Remo's Colours?
Remo's official colours are navy blue and white. Raul Engelhard, one of the club's founders, had studied in England. He was a fan of a rowing club there that used imperial blue. He suggested that Remo use the same colour.
In 1911, Grupo do Remo became Clube do Remo. A couple of years later, they played their first state championship. Their shirts had horizontal stripes in navy blue and white.
Home Kit: What They Wear at Home Games
Since the beginning, navy blue and white have been Remo's official colours. This means their main uniforms are mostly navy blue. For their away games, they often wear white. The very first football shirt the team used had horizontal stripes.

Remo's Amazing Supporters
Remo has a huge and loyal fanbase. In the 1970s, a famous magazine called Revista Placar said Remo had the most fans in the state of Pará. In the 1990s, even more people became fans. This was because the club won many state titles and had great national campaigns. They also had an amazing record against their biggest rival, not losing for 33 games!
Even though the club faced some tough times in the 2000s, their fans kept growing. A study by IBOPE showed that Remo is the biggest club in Northern Brazil. It was also ranked 16th for the most supported clubs in the whole country. The study also found that Remo was the fastest-growing club among fans aged 10 to 15. Most of Remo's fans live in Belém, with numbers ranging from 1 million to 2 million people!
Who Are Remo's Rivals?
The "Amazon King Derby"
Remo's biggest rival is Paysandu. Their matches are called the Clássico Rei da Amazônia (Amazon King derby) or Re-Pa. This is the biggest football rivalry in the northern part of Brazil. The very first game between them was on June 14, 1914, and Remo won 2–1.
Remo has won more games in this derby than Paysandu. Between 1993 and 1997, Remo had an incredible streak. They played 33 matches against Paysandu without losing! This lasted for 4 years, 5 months, and 24 days. In 2016, this derby was even declared a special cultural heritage of the Pará state. It's seen as an important part of the culture of the people of Pará. More than 760 matches have been played between these two clubs. This makes it one of the football derbies with the most games played in history, even more than some very old European derbies!
