São Paulo FC (abbreviated as "São Paulo") was founded on January 25, 1930, and is a professional football club located in the Morumbi district of São Paulo, Brazil.
Between 1943 and 1949, the club won the São Paulo state championship five times. To build the Morumbi Stadium, the club sold the Canindé training ground. The stadium began construction in 1952 and was completed in 1960, named after Cícero Pompeu de Toledo. In the 1950s, the club only won the state championship in 1953 and 1957, then fell into a 13-year championship drought. The Morumbi Stadium was completed in 1970, and the club signed players like Gérson. The following year, they finished as runners-up in the Brazilian Championship, and in 1977, they won the Brazilian Championship for the first time. In the 1980s, the team won the São Paulo state championship four times and the Brazilian Championship once, winning the title in 1985 with stars like Paulo Silas, and again in 1986 by defeating Guarani in a penalty shootout to claim the Brazilian Championship.
In 1996, Telê Santana left the club due to health issues. Between 1995 and 2004, the club changed 14 head coaches, during which they won the state championship in 2000 and the Rio-São Paulo Cup in 2001. In 2005, the team lifted the Copa Libertadores for the third time and also won the FIFA Club World Cup that same year. In 2023, Dorival Júnior led the team to its first Copa do Brasil title. In 2024, the team won the King Super Cup by defeating Palmeiras in a penalty shootout in the final.
