How Fortaleza Transformed from a Struggling Club to a Brazilian Football Powerhouse

[@karlosbrito6874]

Vivi pra vê os gringos falando do fortaleza

[@jardeloliveira70]

Verdade

[@lucassales4283]

AInda estou incrédulo kkkk

[@pedro_dlima93]

tenho uma impressão que esse cara tá falando inglês não é gringo, pelo sotaque. Acho que a língua nativa dele se não for o espanhol, ele é portugues ou brasileiro

[@gabrilozaro]

[@ES-zb1vt]

​@@pedro_dlima93ainda acho que seja cearense😂, mas é bom ainda sim!

[@rodrigorodriguesdelgado.9674]

Fun fact: fortaleza has a hungarian brother, it's called Erod FC.

[@ThroneFC]

I looked it up and you're right! Fun fact

[@edinardofreitas7073]

​@@ThroneFCthe history of Erod FC is truly amazing.

[@marktheshark7588]

I always love the underdog club story.Fortaleza shows to possibilities a small club can accomplish.

[@ThroneFC]

It's always great to see one happening 💯

[@marktheshark7588]

@ThroneFC So true.

[@Caio3]

Fortaleza ain’t small

[@JoaoGabriel-dd7il]

​@@Caio3 não é pequeno por si só, mas não é grande como os principais clubes do país, não tem o mesmo recurso financeiro, o mesmo poderio de investimento, mas pode chegar lá sim pô, torço muito pelo sucesso das equipes do meu nordeste!!

[@luizarthurbrito]

​@@JoaoGabriel-dd7ilverdade, não é grande em termos de títulos, mas falar que qualquer clube que põe 50-60k nun estádio é pequeno está categoricamente errado. É um clube médio.

[@ThroneFC]

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback 🙏

[@Caio3]

You missed the most important in all this: the fans They were the ones who actually carried the team during crisis and motivated “mediocre” players after. The biggest fan attendance in 2014 and 2016 in Brazil was Fortaleza’s fans (during 3rd division)

[@J.F.346]

[@ThroneFC]

You were right 😂💯

[@marcelogomes9442]

I'm a Fortaleza fan! I congratulate you in advance on the excellent research work on our club. The fans, even after all this time in the third division, have always been together. And, God willing, we will win a first division title. If you ever come to Brazil, stop by here. In addition to our team, our state has the most beautiful beaches in Brazil and the world. I'll be following your channel from now on.

Fortaleza is amazing! I’m so glad that I got to grow up in the stadium following all the good and bad moments!

[@MatheusSouza-li4jf]

On top of that, Fortaleza earns a lot less than the big clubs in broadcasting rights and is ignored by the big media because there's a lot of prejudice against the Northeast region of Brazil.

Fortaleza SAF (Sociedade Esportiva do Futebol, or SAD in Portugal standing as I know for Sociedade Anónima Desportiva) doesn't worth almost nothing compared to Botafogo's SAF, or Cruzeiro, or even Atlético Mineiro, but the work is beautiful! These players give blood and sweat for standing out, TOGETHER!

[@nshnishi]

You gotta thank the best goalkeeper of all time for starting this project, Rogério Ceni.

[@israelportela]

Teu cul. Ele apenas foi convidado a fazer parte do projeto e mesmo assim nao deu valor. Na primeira oportunidade ele pulava fora. Torcedor do Fortaleza tem é q ter raiva de Ceni por causa do menosprezo q deu ao clube.

[@pedro_jaco]

Bro, thats like 35% true...

[@davidcarvalho5003]

This information is completely wrong. It was Marcelo Paz actually, who is still the CEO of the club, alongside other executives. Rogério Ceni was just the head coach for two seasons, and although he played an important role in Fortaleza's success, he took part in the "build up" of the idea behind the whole thing.

[@pedro_jaco]

@@davidcarvalho5003 nah bro, Rogério had some importance for the moment

[@davidcarvalho5003]

@@pedro_jaco He did, indeed! However, having some importance is far different from being the one who started it all

man, this video deserves a extended version where you go deep on Fortaleza's playoff eliminations (3rd tier), if you watch the game highlights (which is up on youtube btw) you surely gonna feel the emotion and the pain this team suffered through the years till they get where they are now.

[@WS-xx7xs]

Great video, you could explore a bit more of that area of the country that doesn’t get much exposure! Brazils’ northeast football is historically underestimated, and def needs more spotlights! Sport Recife is the biggest and most known club from the area that has a history of rivalry with the southern clubs, its by far the most respected club from the area and everyone would benefit from learning about it!

[@ThroneFC]

@@WS-xx7xs I love talking about topics like that but people don't always click in videos about smaller clubs. If this video does well, I'll continue talking about Brazilian football clubs

[@georgehideous]

Pici was already the name of the place way before the American base was built during WWII. Unfortunately back in the day when this version came out it was a very common thing in Brazil people trying to push a supposed foreign origin to many words and names we use to this day, and as you can see this mistaken information is still going on in Brazilian websites and therefore it's found in many other languages, as you did in your research for the video.

That's an interesting share, thanks!

in 1966, still at the beginning of the military dictatorship in Brazil, which began in 1964. At the time, in 1966, the Governor of the State of Ceará, Plácido Aderaldo Castelo, who was my grandmother's cousin, decided to build another stadium in Fortaleza, which was completed in 1973. My mother and the entire Castelo family were inaugurated by the Governor at the time, César Cals de Oliveira Filho. The stadium was inaugurated under the name Plácido Aderaldo Castelo, known as Castelão, or Arena Castelão for the 2014 World Cup. The stadium is located in the Castelão neighborhood in Fortaleza. The teams from Fortaleza and Ceará play in this stadium and in Presidente Vargas. Minor teams and youth teams play. In Castelão, Fortaleza has been hosting more than 1 million fans in recent years.

[@JoseBezerra90]

em 1966 ainda na época ainda do começo da ditadura Milita no Brasil que começou em 64, que na época em 66 o Governador do Estado do Ceará chamada Plácido Aderaldo Castelo que era Primo da Minha Avo decidiu Fazer um outro estadio em Fortaleza que ficou Pronto em 73, a Minha mãe e toda a Familia Castelo Foi a Inauguração entregue pelo Governador da época César Cals de Oliveira Filho Inaugurou o Estadio com o Nome Plácido Aderaldo Castelo, conhecido como Castelão ou Para Copa do Mundo de 2014 Usou o Nome Arena Castelão, o Estadio fica no Bairro Castelão em Fortaleza, ai os times do Fortaleza e o Ceará Joga Nesse estadio e no Presidente Vargas Joga Times Menores e categorias de base, no Castelão o Fortaleza esta colocando nos ultimos anos mais de 1 Milhão de Torcedores

[@JoseBezerra90]

In recent years, my brothers and I have been going to Castelão more often to support Fortaleza, and we are fighting for the vice-leadership that is Palmeiras and fighting to reach the leadership that Botafogo and perhaps be champion at the end of the Serie A of the Brazilian Championship. Nos Últimos anos eu e Meus Irmãos estamos indo com mais frequência ao castelão para Torcer ao Fortaleza, e estamos na Briga Pela Vice Liderança Que e do Palmeiras e Brigar para chegar na Liderança que o Botafogo e talvez ser campeão no fim da Serie A do Campeonato Brasileiro
