Vasco da Gama (BA)
Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama, Vasco da Gama or just Vasco, was founded on August 21, 1898, however the football department began on November 5, 1915, by Portuguese immigrants who named the club after the famous Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama. The team is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and is still the team that is traditionally supported by the Portuguese community of Rio de Janeiro.
Their home stadium is the São Januário, which has a capacity of 31,000 fans, but for more important games the team plays at the Maracanã, that has a capacity of 103,000 people. Their uniform consists of white shirts with a black diagonal sash that contains an Order of Christ cross, white shorts and white socks.
An important thing to mention would be Vasco's distinctive role in the extinction of the odious racial discrimination that scourged Brazilian football in its beginnings is a special reason for the fans to be proud of.
