Our story began in 1894 with Club de Regatas Botafogo, and unfolded further in 1904 with the founding of Botafogo Football Club. Later, the merger between them gave rise to Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas in 1942. The Club is widely known as the "Glorious One" due to its historic achievements and milestones throughout its football legacy, and commands an ardent fanbase both nationally and internationally. To this day, the Alvinegro remains the club that has contributed the most players to the Brazilian National Team in World Cup tournaments—directly supporting Brazil’s three World Cup titles, serving as the foundation for the championship squads of 1958, 1962, and 1970.
The Team of the Lone Star is, by nature, a true cradle of football talent and boasts an unparalleled roster of idols. The greatest players of all time have worn the jersey of the Most Traditional Club. Among its trophies and on-field glories, Botafogo is a three-time Brazilian Champion and Libertadores Champion—and continues writing its victorious history on the pitch.
**SAF BOTAFOGO** 彡
Led by John Textor, SAF Botafogo assumed control of the Most Traditional Club’s football operations in March 2022, pioneering the establishment of a Club-Corporation model in Brazil.
Guided by an ambitious, professional vision, SAF strives to build a new Botafogo—one that is strong, successful, and inspiring—alongside its true owners: its passionate fans.
