Botafogo's title in the 1907 Carioca Championship, shared with Fluminense

Botafogo's title in the 1907 Carioca Championship, shared with Fluminense, was only recognized in 1996. As a result, for many years the anthem composed by Lamartine Babo said “Botafogo, Botafogo champion since 1910”, a reference to the first title won and celebrated on the field. After the recognition of the 1907 cup, the anthem was changed.
