Clube do Remo, commonly referred to asRemo, is a Brazilian professional club based inBelém,Pará, founded on 5 February 1905. It competes in theCampeonato Brasileiro Série B, the second tier ofBrazilian football, as well as in theCampeonato Paraense, the top flight of the Parástate football league.
Clube do Remo was founded on 5 February 1905, as Grupo do Remo. The founders, before founding Remo, had abandoned Sport Club do Pará. On 14 February 1908, Remo was closed by the club's general assembly. On 29 March 1908, Remo's partners and Sport Club do Pará made a deal, and Remo was officially extinct in 1908. On 15 August 1911, Remo was reorganized following the initiative of Antonico Silva, Cândido Jucá, Carl Schumann, Elzaman Magalhães, Geraldo Motta, Jayme Lima, Norton Corllet, Oscar Saltão, Otto Bartels and Palmério Pinto.[1]
In 1950, Remo held a tour to Venezuela at the invitation of the football federation of the country to compete in the Caracas International Tournament, which, according to some publications, may have been the precursor of the Little World Cup, played between the 1950s and 1960s. The team held five matches, getting four wins (La Salle,Unión, Military School andDeportivo Italia) and only one loss toLoyola, considering the higher strength of the Venezuelan football at the time. Remo is still seeking official recognition of the title by the CONMEBOL. If accepted, will be the first international title in club history.
Remo also had great campaigns on the national scene. Its most outstanding campaigns were the 7th place obtained in theCampeonato Brasileiro Série A in 1993 and the semifinals in theCopa do Brasil in 1991 – these results represent the best performance of a north team in the history of both competitions.
In 2000, they finished 3rd in theCopa João Havelange's Yellow Module, winning a spot in the final phase of the championship. They were eliminated in the Round of 16 bySport.
In 2005, the club won theCampeonato Brasileiro Série C. This was the club's first national title. The club also has one title of theCopa Verde, three of theTorneio do Norte and oneTorneio Norte-Nordeste, as well as being one of the largest state winners.
The first Remo's emblem consisted of a navy blue rectangle, with the center a white anchor, in obliquely, circulated by thirteen stars of the same color. After the reorganization of 1911, the anchor gave way to a format shield similar to a buoy lifeguard, crossed by a pair of oars. At the top was the description "Grupo do Remo" and the environment, the initials "GR" intertwined.
In 1914, the college is renamedClube do Remo. With this change, the shield also is renewed. The circular uniformity of the previous badge is maintained by adding the typical symmetrical side cut-outs of British heraldry - heritage of some founders of the club with academic training in Europe, especially in England. The acronym GR gives way to the CR.
Over the years, the shield has undergone some changes, without changing style. The last change occurred in 2013, seeking to rescue the origins of the club and to combine the concept of modernity. According to the Brand Manual, the Bluean shield now has a finish on the sidelines and superior to characterize volume and three-dimensionality, in addition to the reversal of the stars color according to the degree of importance of each title - five white representing the five state titles consecutive and golden, representing the national title of Campeonato Brasileiro Série C in 2005.
The anthem of Clube do Remo originated from an adaptation by the poet Antônio Tavernard of a carnival march composed by Emílio Albim for theCadetes Azulinosbloco, created in 1933 and formed by athletes, members, officials and supporters who paraded through the streets of Belém towards Republic Square. Tavernard replaced around thirty words from the march to create the “Hymn of the Azulinos Athletes”, which was first published in the newspaperO Estado do Pará on 4 November 1941.
Raul Engelhard, one of the founders of Grupo do Remo on 5 February 1905, had previously studied in England. A supporter of the Rowing Club — and also an enthusiast of rowing competitions — he proposed that Remo’s official colour should match that of Rowing: the United Kingdom’s imperial blue. In 1911, Grupo do Remo (originally a regatta club) becameClube do Remo, and two years later the team contested its first Campeonato Paraense, wearing navy blue and white horizontally striped shirts.
Since its inception, the club has adopted navy blue and white as its official colours. The primary kits of all variations feature navy blue as the dominant shade, with the order reversed in the secondary strips. The shirt worn in the club’s first football match was designed with horizontal stripes.

In the 1970s, the prestigious magazineRevista Placar, elected the best supported clubs in each Brazilian state and theLeão Azul again confirmed its supremacy inPará. In the 90s contributed further to the increase in Clube do Remo fans, due to the large made the club in this period: eight state titles, large national campaigns and supremacy in the Classic King of the Amazon (the taboo history of 33 games without losing for the biggest rival).
However, from the 2000s, Clube do Remo began to get into a turbulent period in its history with successive failures in national competitions like the relegation from theSérie C in 2005 and being relegated to the point where they did not play a national championship three times.
Despite the difficulties, the fans, contrary to expectations, only increased. Proof of this was theIBOPE study which ranked Remo as the largest club in Northern Brazil and 16th in the ranking of the largest supported clubs of the country, besides being the fastest growing among fans in the range of 10 to 15 years, surpassing clubs likeBotafogo,Fluminense andCoritiba. Remo has most of its fans inBelém, ranging from 1 million to 2 million.
Remo's biggest rival isPaysandu, with whom it plays theClássico Rei da Amazônia (Amazon King derby) orRe-Pa, the largest in the northern region of Brazil. The first game took place on 14 June 1914, with Remo winning 2–1. The Periçá's Club has the most wins in the derby. Between 1993 and 1997, Remo applied a historical taboo on the rival. There were 33 matches (21 wins and 12 draws) in 4 years, 5 months and 24 days. In 2016, the derby was declared intangible cultural heritage of the Pará state, being qualified as a cultural expression of the people of Pará.[2] To this day, more than 760 matches were played between both clubs; which makes this rivalry the football derby with most games played in history, beating even the oldest derbies from Europe.
Also, a further minor rivalry exists between Remo andTuna Luso. The first match happened on 15 November 1931, a friendly that ended 0–0.
Remo's stadium is Evandro Almeida (Baenão), which has a maximum capacity of 17,250 people. The stadium is named after Evandro Almeida, who was a Remo's football player and employee. The nickname Baenão is a reference to the place where the stadium is located, called Travessa Antônio Baena.
Mangueirão is used for the derbies against Paysandu and also for Remo big matches, where the record attendance for Remo occurred on 5 November 2000, in aCopa João Havelange Group Yellow semifinal match attended by 55,000 fans againstParaná.
