Madureira Esporte Clube, or Madureira as they are usually called, is a traditional Brazilian football team from Rio de Janeiro in Rio de Janeiro state, founded on August 8, 1914.
History
Madureira was founded on August 8, 1914 as Fidalgo Madureira Atlético Clube. In 1932, the businessmen Elísio Alves Ferreira, Manoel Lopes da Silva, Manuel Augusto Maia e Joaquim Braia, among others, wanted to found a strong club in Madureira neighbourhood. This group of people contacted Uassir do Amaral, president of Fidalgo Madureira Atlético Clube at that time. In the same year, they tried to fuse Fidalgo and Magno Futebol Clube, but the partners of Fidalgo did not approve this. After several assemblies, on February 16, 1933, the team was named Madureira Atlético Clube, and the foundation date was determined to be August 8, 1914 (the same foundation date of Fidalgo Madureira Atlético Clube).
In 1939, Madureira competed in the Federação Metropolitana de Futebol (Metropolitan Football Federation) state championship, winning the amateur competition and the Torneio Início, which is disputed by professional players.
On October 12, 1971, Madureira Esporte Clube was founded, after Madureira Atlético Clube, Madureira Tênis Clube, and Imperial Basquete Clube fused. The foundation date was determined to be, again, August 8, 1914.
On March 29, 2006, Madureira beat Americano 1-0, winning the Taça Rio for the first time, and qualifying to play the Campeonato Estadual do Rio de Janeiro final against Botafogo. In the final, played on April 2, 2006 and on April 9, 2006 the club was defeated in both legs, finishing as the competition runner-up.
