History
On 23 February 1912, Alcides Santos founded a club called Fortaleza, and participated shortly after in the founding of the Stella Foot-Ball Club. Finally, on 18 October 1918, Fortaleza Sporting Club was born, the first denomination of the Fortaleza Esporte Clube. Its colors represent the colors of the French flag, since the founder spent time in France and decided to put the colors of the European country in the Brazilian club.
In 1920, they participated in the foundation of the Associação Cearense de Desportos. That same year they got their first Cearense Championship title.
In 1951, the Municipality of Fortaleza decided to renovate the Presidente Vargas Stadium. The idea of having a private stadium was reborn in the board since it had its own stadium during the 1920s.
In 1957, the club acquired from the land in Bairro do Pici from Mrs. Hedwing, which during the Second World War was where the American military base was in Fortaleza, called Post Command ( Command Post), hence the name Pici, transfers it to the Club of Gentilândia in exchange for the new neighborhood. It changed its name to Leão do Pici, a reference to the neighborhood where the Parque dos Campeonatos is located.
The Alcides Santos Stadium opened its doors in June 1962, beating Usina Ceará in the inaugural match.
After finishing in 4th place in the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the club qualified for the Copa Libertadores for the first time in history. In 2023 they finished 2nd place in the Copa Sudamericana, losing to L.D.U. Quito.
The team has experienced various successes in Brazilian football, including multiple state championships and notable performances in national competitions. Fortaleza is recognized for its strong youth academy, which has produced talented players who have gone on to make significant contributions to both the club and Brazilian football as a whole.
In recent years, Fortaleza has gained prominence in the top tiers of Brazilian soccer, showcasing a competitive spirit and a commitment to attacking football. The club's motto, "Fortaleza é o nosso orgulho" (Fortaleza is our pride), reflects the deep connection between the team and its supporters, who are known for their unwavering loyalty and enthusiasm.
With a focus on both tradition and innovation, Fortaleza continues to strive for excellence on the field, aiming to secure its place among Brazil's elite soccer clubs while fostering a strong community spirit in the heart of Ceará.
