History [ edit ]

The club was founded on May 13, 1899, by the brothers Artur and Art�mio Valente, along with seventeen other young fellows.

They were from an old Bahia family, and discovered football during their studies in England.

Initially Vit�ria was a cricket club, named Club de Cricket Victoria, because all of them lived at the Vit�ria neighborhood, in Salvador.[3][4]

On May 22, 1901, Vit�ria played its first football match, at Campo da P�lvora, against International Sport Club, a team whose players were English seamen.

Vit�ria beat International 3�2.

Two months after that match, Vit�ria changed its original colors, which were black and white, to red and black, which are still in use.

On September 13, 1903, Vit�ria beat a club formed by people from S�o Paulo state, S�o Paulo Bahia Football Club 2�0 in the club's first official match.

In 1908, Vit�ria won its first title ever, the Campeonato Baiano.

They won the next year as well.

From 1910 to 1952, they didn't win any titles because they were still an amateur club.

In 1953, the club turned professional, and won its third Baiano honor.

Bahia was dominating the state championship, and Vit�ria only won titles in 1955, 1957, 1964, 1965, 1972, 1980, 1985 and 1989.

The club was runner-up in the 1993 Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie A to Palmeiras, with an extremely small payroll.

Vit�ria was champion of Bahia in 1990, 1992, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2000, becoming the top club of the state for the first time.

In the 1999 Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie A, Vit�ria reached the semifinals.

In the 2000s, the Campeonato Baiano trophy was won by Vit�ria eight out of ten years.[5]

In 2004 Vit�ria, after a poor campaign, was relegated to the Brazilian Second Division.

In 2005, the club competed in the Brazilian second division, finishing 17th, and so was relegated to the Third Division for the first time in its history.

In 2006, Vit�ria was runner-up of the third division, and was promoted to the Brazilian second division.

In 2007, the club was promoted back to the first division after finishing in fourth place.

This meant the club had managed to return from the lowest Brazilian national division to its original place in the first division in only two years.

In February 2018 the intense rivalry between Vit�ria and Esporte Clube Bahia drew international attention when nine players (four from Bahia and five from Vit�ria) were shown the red card in a State Championship match.[6]Mascot [ edit ]

The club's mascot is a lion named Lel� Le�o (Lion), and according to Vit�ria's official site, his objective is to stimulate the club's supporters and players on match days.
