The new club was formed in response to the professionalization of football, which led to the dissolution of these earlier clubs.

Over the decades, São Paulo FC has grown to become one of the most successful clubs in Brazil, competing in both the Campeonato Paulista and the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.
