History
On October 10, 1911, some business owners from Ribeirão Preto founded Commercial Football Club and the club soon became very wealthy. The field from Estádio da Rua Tibiriçá was one of the first in Brazil to receive grass, because the club's supporters complained of the dust in the air during the games. In 1936, the club has experienced a financial crisis and the Football Department was closed. In 1956, Commercial merged with Paineiras and become Comercial Football Club, entering the second division from Campeonato Paulista that same year.
In 1958, Comercial won its first title, the Campeonato Paulista Second Level, beating Corinthians of Presidente Prudente in the final. The club was promoted to the following year's first level.
In 1978, the club competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A for the first time. The club finished in the 42nd position.
In 1979, the club competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A for the second time. The club finished in the 14th position, ahead of clubs like Grêmio, Fluminense and Botafogo (RJ).
The team is known for their attacking style of play and skilled players who have represented Brazil at the international level. Comercial FC has won numerous state championships and has a fierce rivalry with other local teams.
Comercial FC is a symbol of pride for the city of Ribeirão Preto and continues to be a dominant force in Brazilian soccer. With a tradition of success and a commitment to excellence, Comercial FC is a team that commands respect and admiration from fans and opponents alike.
