History

São Paulo arrived at 1989 as one of the main forces in Brazilian football, playing their home games at Estádio do Morumbi. It was a club that, in the 1980s, had already collected state titles and established itself among the country's biggest clubs. That year, the team won the 1989 São Paulo State Championship, one of the club's state titles during that period. The campaign reinforced the squad's competitiveness and kept the Tricolor in contention for national titles. In the 1989 Brazilian Championship, São Paulo advanced to the final and faced Vasco. Vasco won the trophy and the Tricolor finished as runner-up. Raí, who had defended the club since 1987, was one of the technical references of that generation.
