Fla–Flu


Fashionable spectators in 1916
In recognition of their intense rivalry yet common origins the sage and writer Nelson Rodrigues (a devoted Fluminense fan)  described the great Rio rivals as The Brothers Karamazov of Brazilian football. 
Fluminense was founded by Oscar Cox in 1902. 
Alberto Borgerth was the son of a high ranking lawyer who joined Fluminense as a 15 year old. He also enjoyed the other elite sporting pastime of Rio at the time, rowing. He did his rowing with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (founded in 1885).
In 1911 a group of Fluminense players left their club following a dispute with the club directors. Dure to Borgerth's connections with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo the footballers approached this club and proposed that they be accommodated as a football section. The football section of Flamengo was officially created on December 24th 1911.
The catchy name for the derby, Fla -Flu, was coined by journalist Mario Filho ( a Flamengo fan, but Nelson Rodrigues' brother) in 1933.
