History

The club was founded on June 1, 1914[1] by the Uruguayan Bertoni brothers, after watching a game between America and a Campos combined team, won by 3-1 by the former. The club was originally planned to be named América Football Club, after America of Rio de Janeiro.

In 2002, Americano won both the Taça Guanabara and the Taça Rio, but was defeated by Fluminense in both legs (2-0 and 3-1) of the Campeonato Carioca final. In 2004, Americano reached the final four of the Brazilian Série C, but finished in the third position, after União Barbarense and Gama, and was not promoted to the Série B.

gollark: Oh, and you have to include libosmarksßspointer (unicode is mandatory) in your application.
gollark: The only downsides are *minor* extra dereferencing overhead and additional space.
gollark: osmarksßspointers can point to:- local virtual memory- local physical memory- local disks- local files- other osmarksßspointers™- registers- arbitrary IPv4/6 addresses- URLs- arbitrary IPv4/6 addresses *and ports*- the output of short pieces of code embedded in the pointer
gollark: Actually, it should be 256 for osmarksßspointers™.
gollark: "Load far pointer" is only 80 bits → not 128 → uncool.
