History [ edit ]

On 30 April 1912, a group of young men who played football purely for the love of the game decided to turn their team into a football club.

[7] In the first meeting, the founders decided that the name of the club would be Am�rica Foot-Ball Club,[8] and the colors would be green and white.

[7] The first matches were played on the mayor's field.

[7] In 1913, Am�rica and Minas Gerais Futebol Clube fused, and the club changed its colors to green, white and black.

[9] Between 1916 and 1925, the team won ten state championships in a row.[9]

In 1933, as a protest to the professionalization of Brazilian football, the club changed its colors to red and white.

[7] In 1943, the club professionalized its football division, and returned to its previous colors.

[7] In 1948, Am�rica won its first state championship as a professional club.[9]

In 1997, Am�rica won the S�rie B for the first time,[10] and in 2000, the club won the Copa Sul-Minas first edition, beating Cruzeiro in the final.

[11] In 2004, after a poor performance in the S�rie B, Am�rica was relegated to the Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie C,[12] and in 2007, the club finished in Campeonato Mineiro's last position, and was relegated to the following year's Campeonato Mineiro M�dulo II.
