São Paulo Athletic Club -three times Paulista champions


Given their role in establishing the game in São Paulo , with The Father of Brazilian Football as their player coach it was unsurprising that São Paulo Athletic Club featured so prominently in the earliest  Paulista  championships. They won the first three championships. They won again in 1911 but withdrew from serious competition in 1912, the main focus of the club shifting to Rugby Football.
