History
The Fluminense Football Club was founded on July 21, 1902, in Rio de Janeiro, by Oscar Cox's initiative. The club won the first edition of the Carioca Championship in 1906, and built an identity linked to the elite of Brazilian football in the early decades of the twentieth century. In the 1940s, Rio football experienced intense rivalry between Flamengo, Vasco, Botafogo and Fluminense. In 1946, the Tricolor was champion of the Carioca Championship, after winning the 1941 edition. The club's home at that time was Estádio das Laranjeiras, inaugurated in 1919 and venue for that year's Copa América. From 1950 onwards, the Maracanã would become the great stage of Rio football, and Fluminense would go on to win the 1952 Copa Rio, considered one of the first titles of international significance in Brazilian football.
