History of Henrique C. - Viseu, Portugal
In 1911, some members of Fluminense, led by the medical student Alberto Borgerth, left the club to create the football department at Flamengo, then dedicated only to rowing. At first, the rowers were against it. But the new board, which took office on November 8, 1911, agreed to study the proposal. On Christmas night, Flamengo created its Land Sports Department.
