Cruzeiro was founded in 1921, in Belo Horizonte, with the name Palestra Itália, created by the Italian community of the city. The current name was adopted in 1942. The team gained national prominence in the second half of the 1960s, with the opening of Mineirão Stadium and the conquest of the 1966 Brazil Cup against Pelé's Santos. In 1976, the club reached the final of Copa Libertadores de América against River Plate. Each team won one of the two matches of the decision, and the title was decided in an extra match at the National Stadium of Santiago, won by Cruzeiro 3-2.
