Club History: Oeste's Journey
The club was founded in 1921 by two brothers from Rio de Janeiro. One brother liked the team Flamengo. The other brother supported Fluminense. They decided to play a match against a local amateur team. The winner of this match would decide the new club's name. If they won, it would be Flamengo; if they lost, it would be Fluminense.
Oeste won the game 3-0! But instead of choosing Flamengo or Fluminense, they picked the name Oeste Futebol Clube. This name comes from the Center-West region of São Paulo state. Even though they didn't use the name Flamengo, they chose Flamengo's red and black colors.
Oeste first played in the top state league, the Campeonato Paulista Série A1, in 2004. They earned this spot by winning the Série A2 the year before. The club returned to Série A1 in 2009. This happened after they reached the Série A2 final in 2008.
In 2012, Oeste won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. This was a big national title for them. They beat Icasa in the final match. In 2016, Oeste teamed up with Grêmio Osasco Audax. They combined players and played home games at Audax's stadium.
In 2017, Oeste moved permanently to the city of Barueri. Their old stadium, Estádio Municipal dos Amaros, was not big enough for Série B matches. The city of Itápolis, which owned the stadium, could not agree with the club.
Team Symbols: The Jaguar Mascot
The club's mascot is a jaguar. This animal is called "onça" in Portuguese. The mascot is named after the Da Onça River (Onça River). This is one of the main rivers in the city.
Home Stadiums: Where Oeste Plays
For many years, Oeste's home stadium was the Estádio Municipal dos Amaros. This stadium could hold up to 6,000 people. In 2016, they played their home games at Prefeito José Liberatti in Osasco. Since 2017, Oeste has played at the Arena Barueri in Barueri. This is their current home stadium.
