Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, or simply Corinthians, is a Brazilian sports club based in S o Paulo, Brazil known mostly for its association football team. Corinthians is the second most popular club in Brazil in number of supporters, after Flamengo of Rio de Janeiro. The History of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista starts on September 1, 1910, when a group of laborers in the neighborhood of Bom Retiro decided to create their own club. Their idea was to found a football team in which anyone could display his abilities in the sport, since back then, in the beginning of the 20th century, football in Brazil was considered to be an elitist sport, played mainly by British descendants and people who worked for British companies.
