How Fluminense Started

Fluminense Football Club began on July 21, 1902. It was in the Laranjeiras neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. A group of young football fans started it. Their leader was Oscar Cox. He was born in Brazil but was English. He learned about football while studying in Switzerland. Cox became the club's first president. Fluminense was the first football club in Rio. At that time, rowing was the most popular sport.

Fluminense played its first official match against Rio Football Club. Fluminense won 8–0. The club won its first title in 1906. This was the state championship, called the Campeonato Carioca.

In 1911, some Fluminense players had disagreements. They left to form Flamengo's football team. This led to the famous Fla-Flu derby. It is one of the biggest rivalries in Brazilian football. Three years later, in Fluminense's stadium, the Brazil national football team played its first game. It was against the English club Exeter City. Brazil also won its first trophy there in 1919.

By 1922, Fluminense had 4,000 members. It had a stadium for 25,000 people. Its facilities impressed clubs in Europe.

The Maracanã Stadium and Big Tournaments

The 1950 World Cup made football even more popular in Brazil. Big teams, who mostly played in state tournaments, started playing against teams from other states. The Maracanã was built for the World Cup. It was the biggest stadium in the world then. It became the main stadium for Fluminense's games.

In 1950, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBD) and FIFA decided to create a new tournament. It would bring together champion clubs from different countries. This was the International Champions Club Tournament, or Copa Rio. The first one was in 1951.

In 1951, Fluminense won the Carioca championship. This meant they could play in the 1952 Copa Rio. The team had great players. Some of them played for the Brazilian team. These included Carlos Castilho, Pinheiro, Didi, and Telê Santana.

In the Copa Rio, Fluminense played against teams from Switzerland, Portugal, and Uruguay. They finished first in their group. In the semi-final, they beat Austria Wien. In the final, they defeated Corinthians.

From the 1950s, the Rio-São Paulo Tournament started. This was a step towards a national championship. Fluminense won this tournament in 1957 and 1960.

Winning National Titles

In the 1960s, Brazil started having national championships. This was so the country could send teams to the Copa Libertadores. Fluminense won its first national title in 1970. Brazil had the best players in the world then. Fluminense's team was one of the top contenders. They won the Brazilian Championship. They beat strong teams like Santos, Palmeiras, and Cruzeiro.

In the 1970s, Fluminense signed many famous players. These included Carlos Alberto Torres and Roberto Rivellino. This team was called the "Tricolor Machine." They won the state championship in 1975 and 1976.

Fluminense became Brazilian champions again in 1984. They played against Rio rivals Vasco da Gama in the final. In that decade, they also won three state championships in a row. They won in 1983, 1984, and 1985. They beat their main rival Flamengo in the first two finals. Great players like Branco and Romerito helped them win these titles.

The Copa do Brasil started in the late 1980s. It was like cup tournaments in Europe. Fluminense reached the final of the Copa do Brasil for the first time in 1992. But they lost to Internacional in a penalty shootout.

Tough Times and Comeback

Fluminense had a very bad season in 1996. They were supposed to be moved down from Brazil's top league. But some things happened off the field that kept them in the league. However, they were moved down the next year. In 1998, the club was moved down again to a lower league.

In 1999, Fluminense won the Série C championship. They were set to move up to Série B. But then they were invited to play in the Copa João Havelange. This championship replaced the traditional Série A in 2000. In 2001, it was decided that all clubs in a certain group of the Copa João Havelange would stay in Série A.

The 2000s: Cup Wins and First Libertadores Final

Fluminense played well in the Serie A in 2000, 2001, and 2002. They finished in the top four each time. Their first title in the 2000s was the 2002 Campeonato Carioca. In 2005, Fluminense won the Campeonato Carioca. They also reached the final of the Copa do Brasil again. But they lost to a lower league club, Paulista.

In 2007, Fluminense won the Copa do Brasil. They beat Figueirense in the final. This allowed them to play in the Copa Libertadores again after 23 years. In the 2007 Serie A, the club finished fourth. Thiago Neves won the Golden Ball as the league's best player.

In the 2008 Copa Libertadores, Fluminense reached the finals. They had a great run. They beat Arsenal de Sarandí 6–0 in the group stage.

In 2009, Fluminense was struggling. They were close to being moved down from Série A again. They had changed managers many times. But then, manager Cuca gave younger players a chance. Fred also recovered from an injury. With strong fan support, Fluminense avoided being moved down. They also reached the Copa Sudamericana finals. They beat rivals Flamengo along the way. But for the second year in a row, Fluminense lost the final to LDU Quito.

The 2010s: Two Brazilian Championships

In 2010, Muricy Ramalho became the new coach. Fluminense was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil. But this allowed them to focus completely on the Brasileirao. With Ramalho's strong defense, Fluminense won the Brazilian championship. It was their third time winning it, after 26 years. They secured the title with a 1–0 win at home. Darío Conca was named the league's best player.

For the 2011 season, Abel Braga became coach. He led the team to a third-place finish in the Serie A. This qualified them for the next year's Copa Libertadores. In 2012, Fluminense kept Abel Braga. They also invested in new players like Thiago Neves. On May 13, 2012, Fluminense won the Campeonato Carioca. They beat Botafogo 5–1. In the Copa Libertadores, they were eliminated by Boca Juniors. Later that year, on November 11, they won their fourth Brazilian championship. They beat Palmeiras 3–2. Striker Fred was the top scorer with 20 goals.

A Close Call in 2013

In 2013, Fluminense was eliminated from the Copa Libertadores again. This time it was by Olimpia. In the Série A, things got worse. They lost many games early on. Coach Abel Braga was let go. A good run of games in September helped them move away from the relegation zone. But then they had a long period without wins. This put them back in danger. Many star players were injured. In December 2013, Fluminense won their last game. They were mathematically moved down to Série B. However, two other teams, Portuguesa and Flamengo, used players who were not allowed to play. They lost points because of this. This allowed Fluminense to stay in Série A. Portuguesa was moved down instead.

Rebuilding Since 2014

In 2014, Fluminense brought back Darío Conca. They also signed other players. With Fred back from injury, Fluminense spent most of the 2014 Série A in the top five. They were trying to get a spot in the 2015 Copa Libertadores. But they didn't reach their goal and finished 6th. In December, Fluminense ended its partnership with its main sponsor, Unimed. Unimed had invested a lot in signing players for 15 years.

From 2015 onwards, Fluminense started to rebuild. Some of their main players left. The club's youth teams became very important. Selling young players became the club's main way to earn money.

In 2019, Fluminense hired Fernando Diniz. He was a young coach with new ideas. But problems within the club led to him leaving. The next year, the club brought back Fred. He is one of the club's biggest heroes. In the 2020 season, Fluminense qualified for the Copa Libertadores.

Club Rivalries

Fluminense has strong rivalries with other clubs in Rio de Janeiro. The average number of paying fans at these big matches at the Maracanã is very high. For example, against Flamengo, it's about 60,107 fans.

Grandpa Derby

The Grandpa Derby (Clássico Vovô) is played against Botafogo. It's called this because they are the two oldest football clubs among the big teams in Rio. This is also the oldest derby in Brazil. Their first game was on October 22, 1905. Fluminense won that friendly match 6–0.

Fla-Flu Derby

The Fla-Flu Derby is also known as the Derby of Crowds. It is played against Flamengo. Many football experts think it is one of the greatest derbies in the world. The rivalry started when some Fluminense players left to form Flamengo's football team.

Giants' Derby

The Giants' Derby (Clássico dos Gigantes) is played against Vasco da Gama. It gets its name from the many important matches played between them. This includes the final of the 1984 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, which Fluminense won.

Rivalry with LDU

A strong international rivalry has grown between Fluminense and L.D.U. Quito from Ecuador. This started when LDU Quito beat Fluminense in the 2008 Copa Libertadores final. They also beat Fluminense in the Copa Sudamericana final the next year. This rivalry became even bigger when they met in a third international final, the 2024 Recopa Sudamericana. Fluminense won this one. This is the only time two CONMEBOL teams have played each other in all three major continental tournaments.

Club Stadiums

Laranjeiras Stadium

The Manoel Schwartz Stadium is usually called the Laranjeiras Stadium. It's also known as the Álvaro Chaves Street Stadium. This was where the Rio team played its games for many years. But now, for safety reasons and because of high demand, they play at Maracanã.

Fluminense's first match at Laranjeiras Stadium was a 4–1 win in 1919. The stadium opened in 1919 with space for 18,000 people. Its capacity was increased to 25,000 people by 1922. Some games had even more fans than its capacity.

Fluminense Headquarters

Today, Fluminense's main team does not play games at Laranjeiras Stadium. It is not safe or big enough for large events. It is now used for training, small events, and games for the women's football team and youth teams. The last official match for the main team there was in 2003.

The club wants to renovate the stadium. But there are challenges. These include keeping the building's historical look. Also, there isn't much space for a modern stadium. Neighbors living nearby also have concerns. The current plan is to make Laranjeiras better. The stadium would stay small. It could host games with fewer fans, like early state championship matches or women's football.

Maracanã Stadium

The Maracanã was built for the 1950 World Cup. It has been the main home for Rio de Janeiro's four biggest clubs. The stadium was fully finished in 1965. In 1963, over 194,000 people watched a match between Flamengo and Fluminense there.

Fluminense has won many important titles at the Maracanã. These include the 1952 Copa Rio. They won their first Brazilian Championship in 1970. The "Tricolor Machine" won the Carioca championship twice (1975–76). They were led by Roberto Rivellino. Fluminense also won the Brazilian championship against Vasco da Gama in 1984. They won the Rio championship three times against Flamengo (1983–85). In 1995, they won the Carioca championship with a famous goal by Renato Gaúcho. In this century, they won the 2007 Brazil's Cup and the 2023 Copa Libertadores.

The stadium was renovated for the 2000 FIFA Club World Cup. Its capacity increased to about 103,000. After more renovations, it reopened in 2007 with 87,000 seats. For the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, a big project started in 2010. The stadium's capacity was reduced to 78,838 seats.

From 2013, a company managed the stadium. But due to problems, Flamengo and Fluminense decided to manage it together. Since 2016, the clubs have kept the stadium in good condition. In 2019, the government ended contracts with the old company. Flamengo and Fluminense then created a joint company, "Fla-Flu S.A." This company now manages Maracanã and its sports complex.
