History

The club was founded on 17 October 1909, in Aracaju, by dissidents of Cotingüiba Esporte Clube. The latter club, named after the Cotinguiba River, had been founded on 10 October 1909, the first in Aracaju. The dissidents, including Adalberto Monteiro, Euclides Porto, Adalgiso Rosal, José Couto de Farias, Tancredo Campos, Américo Silva, Francisco Bessa and others, met at noon on October 11 in Commercial Association and decided the next Sunday to found Club Sportivo Sergipe.[1] Sergipe was initially founded as a rowing club, and in January 1910 the first boat was baptized as Nereida. The first head office was in a garage on Ivo do Prado Avenue.[1] Sergipe football club officially started in 1916.[1] In 1972, Sergipe became the first club from Sergipe state to compete in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, finishing in 26th and last place.[1]
