São Paulo Futebol Clube is a professional football team from São Paulo, Brazil. They play in the top leagues of Brazilian football. These include the Campeonato Paulista, which is São Paulo state's main league, and the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the top national league.

The club's home is the MorumBIS Stadium. It can hold 72,039 fans and is the biggest private stadium in Brazil. São Paulo is known for being Brazil’s top team in worldwide championships. It is also one of only two clubs that have never been moved down from the top division. The other club is Flamengo.

São Paulo FC was started on January 25, 1930. It was formed by joining two older clubs: Club Athletico Paulistano and Associação Atlética das Palmeiras. Since then, their home uniform has been a white shirt with red and black stripes. They wear white shorts and white socks. These colors honor the original clubs and represent the state of São Paulo.

São Paulo is one of the most popular clubs in Brazil. They have over 22 million fans. Their supporters are called são-paulinos. They are often nicknamed Torcida que conduz, which means "Supporters who lead." This shows how important they are to the club's success in South American football.

São Paulo is one of Brazil's most successful teams. They have won 44 official titles. This includes 23 state titles and 6 Brazilian Championship titles. They have also won 3 Copa Libertadores titles and 2 Intercontinental Cups. In 2024, they won the 2024 Supercopa do Brasil. This made them the only club in Brazil to have won every major title available. This earned them the nickname "Champions of All."

Every FIFA World Cup won by Brazil has included at least one São Paulo player. This is a special honor shared with their rivals, Palmeiras.

Club History: How São Paulo FC Began and Grew

1930–1934: The Start of "São Paulo of the Forest"

São Paulo Futebol Clube was founded on January 25, 1930. Sixty people, including former players and members from two other clubs, started it. These clubs were Club Athletico Paulistano and Associação Atlética das Palmeiras. Paulistano, a very old club, stopped playing football when the sport became professional. Palmeiras wanted a professional team but couldn't make it happen.

The new club's jerseys used colors from both parent clubs. Associação Atlética das Palmeiras had white and black. Club Athletico Paulistano had red and white. So, the new São Paulo FC jersey became white with red, white, and black stripes.

Famous players like Arthur Friedenreich and Araken Patusca came from Paulistano. Palmeiras gave the new club its stadium, Estádio da Floresta. This stadium was also known as Chácara da Floresta.

However, the club faced money problems because of disagreements. On May 14, 1935, the football part of the club was closed. It merged with another sports club called Clube de Regatas Tietê.

1935–1939: São Paulo FC Rises Again

Soon after the merger, the original founders decided to restart the club. They first created the Grêmio Tricolor. Then, on June 4, 1935, they formed Clube Atlético São Paulo. Finally, on December 16 of the same year, São Paulo Futebol Clube was officially reborn.

The new club's first game was on January 25, 1936. They played against Portuguesa Santista. The game almost didn't happen because it was the city's anniversary. But the club's football director, Porphyrio da Paz, got permission for it to go ahead.

In 1938, the club merged again. This time it was with Clube Atlético Estudantes Paulista. São Paulo FC then finished second in the Campeonato Paulista league.

1940–1950: The "Steam Roller" Team

The Estádio do Pacaembu opened in 1940. This started a new time for football in São Paulo state. São Paulo FC finished second in the Campeonato Paulista in 1941. A year later, they bought the famous player Leônidas from Flamengo.

During this time, São Paulo also got great players like António Sastre from Argentina. Brazilian stars like Noronha, José Carlos Bauer, and Luizinho also joined. With these new players, the team became known as the Steam Roller. They won the Paulista championship five times: in 1943, 1945, 1946, 1948, and 1949.

To get money for their new stadium, the Estádio do Morumbi, the club sold its Canindé training ground. Construction on the Morumbi stadium began in 1952.

1951–1957: A Short Quiet Period

The great success of the 1940s slowed down in the early 1950s. The club only won two state championships in this decade, in 1953 and 1957. The 1957 championship was won with help from 35-year-old Brazilian star Zizinho. Hungarian coach Béla Guttmann also played a big part. Guttmann helped make the 4–2–4 formation popular in Brazil. This formation was later used by Brazil to win the 1958 FIFA World Cup.

In the years that followed, São Paulo found it hard to compete. This was because of the rise of Pelé and his club, Santos. With the Morumbi stadium still being built, São Paulo had its longest time without winning a title, which lasted 13 years.

1958–1969: Focusing on the Stadium

São Paulo spent most of its money on building the Estádio do Morumbi. This meant they bought fewer expensive players in the 1960s. However, they did sign Brazilian international players Roberto Dias and Jurandir.

In 1960, the Estádio do Morumbi officially opened. It was named after Cícero Pompeu de Toledo, the club's chairman during most of the stadium's construction. One happy moment for fans during this time was in 1963. São Paulo beat Pelé's Santos 4–1 in the Paulista Championship.

1970–1979: Winning the Brazilian Championship

In 1970, the Estádio do Morumbi was finally finished. The club bought Gérson from Botafogo. They also signed Uruguayan midfielder Pedro Rocha and striker Toninho Guerreiro. The team was coached by Zezé Moreira, who had coached Brazil in the 1954 FIFA World Cup. São Paulo won the Paulista Championship that year.

In 1971, São Paulo beat Palmeiras 1–0 in the final to win another state title. That year, the first Brazilian Championship was held. São Paulo finished second to Atlético Mineiro.

In the following years, São Paulo and Palmeiras became the top clubs in São Paulo state. They slowly took over from Pelé's Santos and Corinthians. In 1974, São Paulo played in the 1974 Copa Libertadores. They lost in the final to Independiente.

In 1975, former goalkeeper José Poy became manager. São Paulo won the Paulista Championship after a penalty shootout against Portuguesa.

Key players like Valdir Peres, Chicão, and Serginho Chulapa helped São Paulo win their first Brazilian Championship in 1977. They beat Atlético Mineiro in a penalty shootout. However, they did not win another trophy until the Paulista Championship in 1980.

The 1980s: The "Tricolor Decade" of Wins

In the 1980s, São Paulo won four Paulista titles and one Brazilian title. This was thanks to strong defenders like Oscar and Dario Pereyra. In 1980 and 1981, the club won the Paulista Championship two years in a row. This was the first time since the 1940s.

In 1985, coach Cilinho introduced the Menudos of Morumbi. This team included young stars like Paulo Silas and Müller. They helped the club win another Paulista Championship. The main striker was Careca, who also played for Brazil in the 1986 FIFA World Cup. Midfielder Falcão also joined and helped win the 1985 Campeonato Paulista.

In 1986, manager Pepe led the club to its second Brazilian Championship. They beat Guarani in a penalty shootout. In 1987, the Menudos team won its last title, another Paulista title. The "Tricolor Decade" ended with the 1989 Paulista Championship. São Paulo also finished second in the Brazilian Championship that year.

1990–1995: The Telê Era and International Glory

Telê Santana da Silva 01
Telê Santana won two Copa Libertadores and two Club World Cups with São Paulo.

In 1990, Telê Santana became the club's coach. São Paulo finished second in the Brazilian Championship. In 1991, Santana won his first title, the Paulista championship.

In 1991, São Paulo won the Brazilian championship. They beat Bragantino. This started a period of great success for the club, both in Brazil and worldwide. The next year, they reached the Copa Libertadores final. They played against Newell's Old Boys from Argentina. São Paulo lost the first game but won the second. They then won the competition in a penalty shootout, taking the title for the first time.

In the same year, in Tokyo, the club won its first Intercontinental Cup. They beat Johan Cruyff's Barcelona 2–1. After returning to Brazil, the club beat Palmeiras to win its 18th state championship.

In 1993, São Paulo won the Copa Libertadores again. They beat Universidad Católica from Chile. After this win, important midfielder Raí left the club. The Copa Libertadores win also allowed the club to play in the 1993 Recopa Sudamericana. They beat 1992 Supercopa Libertadores winners Cruzeiro. The club also won the 1993 Supercopa Libertadores. This meant São Paulo had won an amazing three CONMEBOL titles in a row.

São Paulo also defended its Intercontinental Cup title. They beat Fabio Capello's Milan 3–2. Müller scored the winning goal. This meant the club had won four major titles.

In 1994, the club reached the Copa Libertadores final for the third year in a row. They lost to Vélez Sársfield from Argentina in a penalty shootout. But by the end of that year, São Paulo won the Copa CONMEBOL. They defeated Peñarol of Uruguay in the final.

1996–2004: After the Telê Era

In early 1996, Telê Santana left São Paulo due to health problems. This ended the club's golden age. Between 1995 and 2004, the club had many different managers. Some important titles during these ten years were the 2000 Paulista Championship. They also won their first Rio-São Paulo Tournament title in 2001.

Rogério Ceni, Júlio Baptista, Luís Fabiano, and Kaká were the club's star players. Raí briefly returned to the club from 1998 to 2000. With him, the club won the Paulista Championship twice.

In 2004, São Paulo was back in the Copa Libertadores. They reached the semi-finals but lost to Once Caldas from Colombia. At the end of that year, Émerson Leão became the club's coach.

2005–2009: More Brazilian and World Titles

In 2005, with Leão as manager, São Paulo won the Paulista Championship. Leão soon left, and Paulo Autuori took over. São Paulo won the Libertadores Cup for the third time. They beat another Brazilian team, Atlético Paranaense, in the final. São Paulo won the second game 4–0 at Morumbi. This made them the first Brazilian club to win three Copa Libertadores titles.

In December 2005, São Paulo played in the FIFA Club World Championship in Japan. After beating Al-Ittihad from Saudi Arabia, they faced European champions Liverpool in the final. A 1–0 win over Liverpool gave São Paulo its third worldwide title. The goal was scored by Mineiro. Goalkeeper Rogério Ceni was named the best player of the tournament.

After the successful 2005 season, Paulo Autuori left. Muricy Ramalho became the new coach. In his first tournament, Ramalho's team finished second in the Paulista Championship. São Paulo reached the 2006 Copa Libertadores final but lost to Internacional. However, they went on to win their fourth Brazilian Championship trophy. They were the first team to win the national title in the new league format.

In 2007, São Paulo won the Brazilian title for the second year in a row. They were fifteen points ahead of Santos. They won the title for the third season running in 2008. Manager Muricy Ramalho was the first coach to win three league titles in a row with the same team.

Despite this success, Muricy was fired in 2009. This happened after São Paulo was knocked out of the 2009 Copa Libertadores by Cruzeiro. Ricardo Gomes took over as manager. The club almost won the league for the fourth time in a row but finished third.

2010–2020: A Challenging Period and a Copa Sudamericana Win

In 2010, São Paulo lost to Internacional again in the 2010 Copa Libertadores semi-finals. This ended Ricardo Gomes' time as manager. The club finished ninth in the league. This meant they did not qualify for international competitions for the first time since 2003.

In 2011, the club signed Rivaldo and brought back Luís Fabiano. Goalkeeper Rogério Ceni scored his 100th career goal. Despite these events, it was a disappointing season. They finished sixth in the league and did not qualify for the Libertadores again.

In 2012, São Paulo won the Copa Sudamericana. This was their only title in the 2010s. They also qualified for the next season's Libertadores. However, after that season, the club had another long period without many wins. They struggled to be as dominant in Brazil and South America.

During the 2010s, São Paulo did not win a single Campeonato Paulista title. This was the first time this had happened since the 1960s.

2021–Present: Champions of All Titles

In 2021, São Paulo finally ended its second-longest time without a title (8 years). Under new manager Hernán Crespo, the club beat Palmeiras in the Campeonato Paulista finals. They won the competition for the first time since 2005.

However, after some poor results, Crespo was fired in October. The club was in danger of being moved down to a lower league. Club legend Rogério Ceni took over as manager. São Paulo finished 13th in the league.

In 2022, under Ceni, the club reached the Campeonato Paulista finals again. They reached their third state final in four years. São Paulo finished second to Palmeiras. They also reached the semi-finals of the 2022 Copa do Brasil. They lost in the final of the 2022 Copa Sudamericana to Independiente del Valle. This was the first time since 2005 that the club reached two finals in the same year.

In 2023, Rogério Ceni was fired again. Dorival Júnior replaced him. Under Dorival, São Paulo won its first Copa do Brasil title. They beat rivals Palmeiras, Corinthians, and Flamengo in a memorable run. The club finished 11th in the league.

Dorival Júnior left São Paulo in January 2024 to manage the Brazil national team. Thiago Carpini was appointed as his replacement. Carpini led the club to win the 2024 Supercopa Rei. They defeated Palmeiras on penalties. This win made São Paulo the first Brazilian club to win all major titles available.

Team Colors and Badge Meaning

AA das Palmeiras

The Morumbi Stadium: São Paulo's Home Ground

Estádio do Morumbi
Aerial view of the Morumbi Stadium.

São Paulo's famous stadium holds 72,039 people. Its official name is Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo. But it is usually called Estádio do Morumbi. The stadium was designed by architect Vilanova Artigas. It is seen as an important example of Brazilian modernism. Because of its cultural and architectural importance, the city of São Paulo decided to protect the stadium. This means it could not be changed or modernized.

The MorumBIS stadium has been on this protection list since 2018. However, a new deal was made for a big renovation. São Paulo's city government agreed to remove the stadium from the list. This allows for a large modernization project to be finished by 2030.

In late 2023, Mondelez bought the Naming rights to the stadium. This means they can temporarily change the stadium's name to MorumBIS for five years. Also in 2023, Live Nation Entertainment signed a deal with the club. This deal allows them to hold concerts and events at the stadium.

The first game at the stadium was on October 2, 1960. São Paulo won 1–0 in a friendly match against Sporting Club from Portugal. When it first opened, it could hold 120,000 people. Now, its maximum capacity is 72,039 seats.

The club also has two training grounds. One is for the professional team. It is called Centro de Treinamento (CT) da Barra Funda. The other is for the youth teams. It is called Centro de Treinamento (CT) de Cotia.
