Biography
Formation
Esporte Clube Vitória, a prominent Brazilian football club, was founded on May 13, 1899, in Salvador, Bahia, by brothers Artur and Artêmio Valente along with seventeen other young enthusiasts. Initially established as a cricket club named Club de Cricket Victoria, the founders were inspired by their experiences studying in the United Kingdom. The club transitioned to football, playing its first match on May 22, 1901, where they triumphed over International Sport Club with a score of 3-2. Shortly after, Vitória adopted its iconic red and black colors, which remain to this day.
Early Success and Challenges
The early 1900s marked a significant period for Vitória, as they secured their first official match victory against São Paulo Bahia Football Club in 1903. The club won its first Campeonato Baiano title in 1908 and continued to compete in the state championship. However, from 1910 to 1952, Vitória faced challenges as an amateur club, struggling to win titles. It wasn't until 1953, when they turned professional, that they began to reclaim their status, winning multiple state championships in the following decades.
National Recognition
Vitória's most notable achievement came in 1993 when they finished as runners-up in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, a remarkable feat considering their limited financial resources. The club has also been a dominant force in the Campeonato Baiano, winning the title numerous times, particularly in the 1990s and early 2000s. Their legacy includes various national and international honors, showcasing their long-standing presence in Brazilian football.

Career & Clubs
The club was founded on 13 May 1899, by the brothers Artur and Artêmio Valente, along with seventeen other young fellows. They were from an old Bahia family, and discovered football during their studies in the United Kingdom. Initially Vitória was a cricket club, named Club de Cricket Victoria, because all of them lived at the Vitória neighborhood, in Salvador. On 22 May 1901, Vitória played its first football match, at Campo da Pólvora, against International Sport Club, a team whose players were English seamen. Vitória beat International 3–2. Two months after that match, Vitória changed its original colors, which were black and white, to red and black, which are still in use.
On 13 September 1903, Vitória beat a club formed by people from São Paulo state, São Paulo Bahia Football Club 2–0 in the club's first official match. In 1908, Vitória won its first title ever, the Campeonato Baiano. They won the next year as well. From 1910 to 1952, they didn't win any titles because they were still an amateur club. In 1953, the club turned professional, and won its third Baiano honor. Bahia was dominating the state championship, and Vitória only won titles in 1955, 1957, 1964, 1965, 1972, 1980, 1985 and 1989. The club was runner-up in the 1993 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A to Palmeiras, with an extremely small payroll. Vitória was champion of Bahia in 1990, 1992, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2000, becoming the top club of the state for the first time. In the 1999 Campeonato Brasileiro…
