São Paulo Futebol Clube, usually called São Paulo FC or just São Paulo, is a traditional Brazilian football team from São Paulo, founded on January 25, 1930, and re-founded on December 16, 1935. It is often called Tricolor (meaning with three colours) by its supporters. As of November 2007, São Paulo is the current Brazilian Champion. It is the third most popular football club in Brazil, with more than 13 million supporters.
The team is the most successful club in Brazil, with several titles of national and international grade. That includes three World Club Crowns (2 as Intercontinental Cup, and 1 as FIFA Club World Championship), three Libertadores da América Cup and five Brazilian Championship. The club and its supporters are regarded to have a special relationship with Libertadores, as they are the club in Brazil with most titles (1992, 1993, 2005) and finals played (1974, 1992, 1993, 1994, 2005, 2006), with their attendance boosting during the championship compared to the regular season.
Their home stadium is Cícero Pompeu de Toledo Stadium (nicknamed Morumbi), capacity 80,000. They play in a white shirt with two horizontal stripes--one red and one black, white shorts and socks.
