Santos Futebol Clube is a Brazilian football team from Santos, São Paulo state, Brazil.
It was founded on April 14, 1912, through the initiative of three esportistas of the city: Raimundo Marques, Mário Ferraz of Campos and Argemiro of Souza Júnior. The club won its first State championship in 1935, and again 20 years later, in 1955. Pelé (now also known as "athlete of the century") started his career at the club in 1956, aged 15. With Pelé, Santos won the Intercontinental Cup in 1962 and 1963.
Santos' home stadium is the Urbano Caldeira (also known as Vila Belmiro), inaugurated on October 12, 1916. Nowadays it has a capacity of 25,256 people, but its record is almost 33,000 people, in a game against Corinthians (tie, 0-0), 1964. A supporter of the club is known as a Santista.
They play in an all-white uniform, with a second choice uniform of black and white stripes and black shorts.
