Clube Atlético São Paulo

Clube Atlético São Paulo, also known as SPAC, was a historic Brazilian football club founded on May 15, 1898 by Charles William Miller and several English immigrants, being one of the first football clubs in the country.

The club's players were English employees of Companhia de Gas (Gas Company), London Bank and Sao Paulo Railway, but Charles Miller were also a club's player. Sao Paulo Athletic was supported by the British community living in Sao Paulo.

Sao Paulo Athletic Club was later renamed to Clube Atletico Sao Paulo, which is a Portuguese translation of its original name. However, the club is better known by its former name. Its colors are blue and white.

The club eventually closed its football division, but today it is still active in other sports, like rugby union and squash.

Set up by the British over 100 years ago, it has two separate grounds, with both providing a good mix of traditional and modern facilities.
