Alecrim Futebol Clube, also known as Alecrim, are a Brazilian football team from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. They competed in the Série A in 1986.

History

Alecrim Futebol Clube were founded on August 15, 1915 by a group of boys that included the future Brazilian President, Café Filho.[1] They won the Campeonato Potiguar six times.[2] Alecrim competed in the Série A in 1986 when they were eliminated in the first stage of the competition.[3]

On February 4, 1968, the famous player Garrincha played a game for Alecrim against Sport.[1] In 2012 Alecrim appointed Englishman Anthony Armstrong-Emery, as the first foreign President of a Brazilian club.

Stadium

Alecrim played their home games at Estádio Dr. João Cláudio Vasconcelos Machado, commonly known as Machadão.[2] The stadium had a maximum capacity of 45,000 people.[4] At the end of 2013, Alecrim moved to a new 10,500 capacity stadium, which has the potential for expansion to 25,000. The new stadium will also host an academy.[5]
