Nova Iguaçu Futebol Clube

Nova Iguaçu Futebol Clube was founded on 1 April 1990, by the initiative of 25 self-employed persons, led by Jânio Moraes. The foundation project was idealized in 1988/1989, by Jânio Moraes, and supported by the 25 self-employed people. 1994 World Cup champion Zinho is one of the founders of the club and was a director-partner of the club. In 1994, only four years after the club's foundation, Nova Iguaçu won the Campeonato Carioca Third Level, and gained promotion to the state championship second level. In 2005, after a successful campaign, Nova Iguaçu won the Campeonato Carioca Série A2 and was promoted to the 2006 Campeonato Carioca First Division. On 14 January 2006 Nova Iguaçu played their first ever Campeonato Carioca first division match, against the major club Flamengo, at Estádio Raulino de Oliveira, where the club won 1-0. However, Flamengo's players were alternates. On 21 June 2008 the club won the Copa Rio for the first time, after beating Americano 3-2 at Estádio Godofredo Cruz, Campos dos Goytacazes, home of the opponent club.
