Fluminense Football Club is a Brazilian football club from Rio de Janeiro. It`s one of the strongest teams in the Campeonato Carioca. It is a founder member of the Club of the 13. The club is supported by some 9 million fans all over the world.
Fluminense was found by Oscar Cox on July 21, 1902. In 1932 it became the first Brazilian team to turn professional. The club`s eye-catching performance attracted thousands of fans. So on December 15, 1963 a crowd of 195 000 supporters flocked to the stadium to watch the match between Flamengo and Fluminense. That was a record home attendance.
During the 1990s the club was struck by a deep crisis. As a result Fluminense slipped into the Série B and later to the Série C. Only by the end of the 1990s the club had managed to find its way back to the Série A. In the 2008/2009 campaign Fluminense hovered perilously close to the relegation zone but finally climbed out of it, finishing a lowly 17th. That year also saw the team reach the Copa Libertadores final which was actually lost to Boca Juniors.
In 2012 Tricolor Carioca clinched the Brasileirão for the fourth time in the club`s history. Fluminense is a holder of 31 Campeonato Carioca titles. However, in the following season Fluminense did not manage to perform well and were relegated to Serie B becoming the first ever reigning champion to be relegated. However, several days later they were reinstated back to the top flight after Brazilian Football Association announced Portuguesa had been deprived of four points for putting a suspended player on squad list. Consequently, the latter team was relegated instead of Fluminense.
