Description

Cruzeiro Esporte Clube (abbreviated Cruzeiro E.C., usually known simply as Cruzeiro) is a Brazilian football team, from the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, founded on January 2, 1921. It is the only Brazilian team to have won the triple crown of Brazilian football for winning the Brazilian League, the Brazilian Cup, and the State Championship in the same year, accomplishing this feat in 2003.

Cruzeiro is one of the oldest and most traditional clubs in Brazil. They have never been relegated or removed from the Brazilian Série A (along with Internacional, Flamengo, and Vasco da Gama). They are the 2nd Brazilian club in Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol rankings and have the 5th highest home attendance in Brazilian football. They have won a total of seven international honors and are the reigning Mineiro champions.

Even though the club's main focus is football, Cruzeiro also supports semi-professional teams as well, these include track and field, bocha, and bowling.
