After the barbecue ended, they always played football. Manoel Lopes Mattos, João Scherer, Aloys Auschild, Manoel Outeiro, João Tamujo and Adão Steigleder decided to found a football club. The suggested name was Adams Futebol Clube, but the name they chose was Sport Club Novo Hamburgo, later renamed to Esporte Clube Novo Hamburgo (German:Sport Club Neu-Hamburg).
As Brazil enteredWorld War II in 1944 war joining theallies side, Novo Hamburgo had to change its name, as it was of German origin – Novo Hamburgo means NewHamburg. The city was renamed toMarechalFloriano Peixoto and the club turned intoEsporte Clube Floriano. In 1968, the club reverted to its previous name.
Despite that, the 1940s and 50s were a golden age for the team, being theCampeonato Gaúcho runner-ups on 1942, 1947, 1949, 1950 and 1952.
The famous playerGarrincha, who won the1958 and the1962 World Cups, played once for Novo Hamburgo. On 2 July 1969, he wore the number 7 of the club.

Novo Hamburgo finished in 7th of Group A and 74th in the overall ranking of the championship. The best result was finishing in 4th at the2005 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. However, at that time the regulations were that only the top two teams would be promoted for next year'sSérie B, and thus Novo Hamburgo wasn't promoted.
