History

Like the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, the name of the team of Santo André also arose due to the Corinthian Football Club, the English team that toured Brazil. Among the founders the two final proposals of name were Flower of India and Corinthians. The first team was formed by João, Túlio, Manetti, Polesi and Veronesi, Jacomo and Américo, Paulista, Cortez, Severino and Carmine.

The first match and goal of Pelé was against Corinthians of Santo André, in a friendly match of celebration of the Independence, on September 7, 1956.[2]
