Sport Club Americano, commonly known as Americano, was a Brazilian football club from São Paulo, São Paulo state. They won the Campeonato Paulista twice.
The club was founded on May 21, 1903 in Santos. However, in 1908 moved from Santos to São Paulo due to the difficulties in climbing Serra do Mar to play the regional tournament games in São Paulo.[1] [2]
