Botafogo is the oldest team in Rio de Janeiro: it was founded on 7/1/1894 as a racing club. In 1904, from this club was born a football team called Electro Club. The name was short-lived: months later it was decided to use the name of the neighborhood for the football team, then called Botafogo Football Club. Only in 1942 did Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas appear, a merger between the regatta club and the football team.
