History
The team was founded in 2011 with sponsorship and support of EBX Group controlled by business magnate Eike Batista in partnership with the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro, marking the return of a men's volleyball team in the Rio city.[1] In 2013 following the loss of the main sponsor, the club changed its name to RJ Vôlei.[3] After finishing fifth in the 2013–14 Brazilian Superliga the team withdrew from the following season due to financial troubles.[4]

gollark: How does that even happen? These are integers. There shouldn't be floating point weirdness.
gollark: I have some JS which *almost* works, except it's *somehow* off by a few percent and it cuts off the bottom of the text.
gollark: Why is it that CSS makes it really easy to do complex layouts and such but there is literally no simple, working, consistent way - even with JS involved - to make a text area automatically fit its contents?!
gollark: Villains should really read the evil overlord list: http://eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html
gollark: Most villains in, well, media seem pretty stupid. They're just "ah yes I will be evil for no reason", do stupid things, and get surprised when they fail.
