[edit] History

Santo André was founded by people that wanted to have a team in their city representing the professional football of the Municipality.

The first Santo André directorship was elected on October 4, 1967, and was composed by the following members: Newton Brandão, the President; Wigand dos Santos, Antonio Ferreira dos Santos and Hildebrando Mota Carneiro, the vice-presidents; Nelson Cerchiari and Durval Daniel, secretaries; Matheus Guimarães Jr. and João Manha, the treasurers.

The first official match of the club took place on April 8, 1968, at Américo Guazzelli stadium, in a friendly match against Santos. Pelé didn't play, but watched the match and participated in the festivities. Santo André won by 2-1.

In 2004, Santo André won its first national title. The club defeated Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil final, gaining the right to compete in the following year's Copa Libertadores de América.
