[edit] History

Guarani Futebol Clube was founded on April 1, 1911, in the city of Campinas, São Paulo, as Guarany Foot-Ball Club, by the initiative of 12 Gymnasio do Estado (currently known as Culto à Ciência) students, including Pompeo de Vito, Hernani Felippo Matallo and Vicente Matallo.^[1] Those students usually played football at Praça Carlos Gomes.^[1] Vicente Matallo became Guarani's first president.^[1] Guarani was officially founded on April 1, 1911, however to avoid jokes being made by the supporters of rival teams due to the association with April Fool's Day, the directors of Guarani changed the official foundation date to April 2, 1911.^[2] Guarani was named after maestro Antônio Carlos Gomes' opera "Il Guarany". Antônio Carlos Gomes was born in Campinas, Brazil, and is one of the most distinguished nineteenth century classical composers.^[2]

In 1949, Guarani won Campeonato Paulista Second Division, gaining the right to play in the first division in the following year.^[2]

As of 2008, Guarani is the only Brazilian interior team to have won the national championship (not counting Santos, since despite the fact Santos is not a state capital, it is located in the coastline). The club won Campeonato Brasileiro in 1978, after defeating Palmeiras.^[3] In 2005 and 2006, Guarani competed in the Second Division of the Campeonato Brasileiro,^[4][5] and in the 2007 the club played the Third Division of the Campeonato Brasileiro.^[6]
