[edit] History
As in Milan where the dissidents of AC Milan were kicked out and founded Inter Milan, one year after, on October 17, 1909, in Aracaju, CS Sergipe was founded by dissidents of Contigüiba EC (Cotingüiba was founded on October 10, 1909, and was the first club in Aracaju (named after the Cotingüiba River)) who wanted to name the club after the river of the same name that passes through the capital Aracaju. So following Adalberto Monteiro, Euclides Porto, Adalgiso Rosal, José Couto de Farias, Tancredo Campos, Américo Silva, Francisco Bessa and others, they got together at noon on October 11 in Commercial Association and decided the next Sunday to found Club Sportivo Sergipe.[1] Sergipe was initially founded as a rowing club, and in January 1910 the first boat was baptized as Nereida. The first head office was in a garage on Ivo do Prado Avenue.[1]
In 1916, Sergipe officially started to support football.[1]
