Remo

Clube do Remo, commonly referred to as Remo, is a Brazilian professional club based in Belém, Pará, founded on 5 February 1905. It competes in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the top tier of Brazilian football, as well as in the Campeonato Paraense, the top flight of the Pará state football league.

History
Clube do Remo was founded on 5 February 1905, as Grupo do Remo. The founders, before founding Remo, had abandoned Sport Club do Pará. On 14 February 1908, Remo was closed by the club's general assembly. On 29 March 1908, Remo's partners and Sport Club do Pará made a deal, and Remo was officially extinct in 1908. On 15 August 1911, Remo was reorganized following the initiative of Antonico Silva, Cândido Jucá, Carl Schumann, Elzaman Magalhães, Geraldo Motta, Jayme Lima, Norton Corllet, Oscar Saltão, Otto Bartels and Palmério Pinto.

In 1950, Remo held a tour to Venezuela at the invitation of the football federation of the country to compete in the Caracas International Tournament, which, according to some publications, may have been the precursor of the Little World Cup, played between the 1950s and 1960s. The team held five matches, getting four wins (La Salle, Unión, Military School and Deportivo Italia) and only one loss to Loyola, considering the higher strength of the Venezuelan football at the time. Remo is still seeking official recognition of the title by the CONMEBOL. If accepted, will be the first international title in club history.

Remo also had great campaigns on the national scene. Its most outstanding campaigns were the 7th place obtained in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A in 1993 and the semifinals in the Copa do Brasil in 1991 – these results represent the best performance of a north team in the history of both competitions.
