SE Palmeiras is the most decorated club in Brazilian football history, a São Paulo powerhouse known for its all-green kit and the nickname "Verdão." The club plays its home matches at the modern Allianz Parque, one of the country's premier football venues, and has built a reputation for relentless squad development and a deep, well-run academy. Palmeiras has been Brazil's dominant domestic force in recent seasons, regularly contesting for both the Brasileirão and the Copa Libertadores. Few clubs in South America can match Palmeiras' combination of historic weight and present-day consistency.
Founded on August 26, 1914 by Italian immigrants under the name Palestra Itália, the club adopted the Palmeiras name in 1942 after Brazil joined the Allies against Italy in World War II. Palmeiras holds the record for Campeonato Brasileiro titles, with championships spanning from 1960 and 1967 through recent triumphs in 2016, 2018, 2022 and 2023. The club has also won the Copa Libertadores three times, in 1999, 2020 and 2021, establishing itself as a major continental force. That blend of domestic dominance and international pedigree has made Palmeiras a benchmark club in South American football.
