The absurd tale of a club that pulled itself to the top of the sport by pushing all the rules and changing the sport forever. A history that now even goes past just one owner, into a club legacy of finding new and ever more creative (and expensive) ways to do things.
Much Love,
The Zealand

A similar thing happened to me once. América-SP was playing at Atlético Sorocaba and I went there to support my hometown club. Sorocaba is much closer to São Paulo (~100 km), the city I was living in, than to São José do Rio Preto (~400 km), the city where América is from. When I arrived at the stadium, the police wasn't prepared for an away fan, and there was no away fans area designated. Then I watched the whole game in the middle of the local team fans, surrounded by some policemen.

Used to be my fav way to play Fifa, choose a English 4th League Club and work my way to the Champions League; I always wished Fifa had more opportunities like that, to be promoted or relagated, teams that conquered the second division clearly struggling in the first as the average team there is just stronger, have loads of great memories from when I finally was a proper contenter in the Premier League and the big clubs were no longer scary but just a challenge to overcome

As an American, the reverse is also true. I visited Ireland a few years ago and we drove across the country from Ballina to Dublin in an afternoon. That's a shorter drive than NYC to Boston. However, I also helped a friend move from NYC to Columbia, Missouri, which is halfway across the country... and about the same distance as driving from Madrid to Amsterdam.

I'm from the state of Santa Cruz, Rio Grande do Sul. Some people are against state leagues due to scheduling issues, but I think it's a cool and traditional characteristic of our football. In 2017, the team from my hometown (E.C. Novo Hamburgo) won the state league, and it was an incredible moment. Many regional clubs wouldn't exist, and thousands of professionals would be unemployed if the state leagues were to end.

At this moment with four matches played in the Gauchão 2024, Santa Cruz is... Dead last. They won their local derby against Avenida, drew once and their two losses were from a single goal down, so it may be a case of making the most out of their matches except Grêmio and Internacional and they will be safe. If it serves as a bit of hope, Internacional got beaten 2-1 by Guarany at Bagé, the team that came up with Santa Cruz last year.

as a Brazilian I just wanted to correct a few things: 1. The Copa FGF is a state cup which teams with "no calenday" play in (teams not in the 1st to 4th national divisions), so big clubs like Gremio and Internacional do not play. Another one is the Copa Paulista in Sao Paulo 2. I'm pretty sure that the winner of the FGF Cup gets to choose if they want top be in the 4th division or the Copa do Brasil, idk but ik thats how it is with the Copa Paulista. And why did he choose the Copa and not the 4th division? Money! It pays more money, Thus with the money from the Copa do Brasil they were able to invest in getting promoted!

I am brazilian. And a Gremio fan, and was watching that game. For you to know, being in the Copa do Brasil for this small clubs is a huge thing, because the clubs that qualify for the first stage of the Cup receive 950k to 1,5 milion reais, just for qualifying for the CUP. And as you can imagine, the small team that dont have a big revenue during the year, this money is a major deal.

This is the kind of story that we should hear. Its a story of faithfulness, dedication, and perseverance. He was not only devoted to the team but is devoted to Santa Cruz. Giving everything he has not once but twice! Not everyone is granted success but those who never give up will find theirs eventually.

Z, thank you for highlighting this story and just the overall magic of Brazilian football (plus how complicated the pyramid and state tournaments can be). Also, as it's been pointed out by quite a few folks...BraZealand was right there!

I love this man. He epitomizes the depth of sacrifice a fan is willing to make for his club. I would miss a match to go get hot dogs, but only if my club would for sure win that match, guaranteed to win that match, otherwise no trade.

I'm amazed. I live in Porto Alegre and I cheer for Grêmio since I was a kid (although I don't follow it that much nowadays) and I've never heard about this story. Thank you for sharing. I'm now considering Santa Cruz as the second team I cheer for.

As a Brazilian, from Rio de Janeiro, gotta praise your work. I didn't know his history, i just knew he brought a small team from the outskirts of Rio Grande do Sul back to the top state division. Nice work man. This is the 3rd well structured video i've seen in this channel, which means, i must sub. Cheers!
