History
Chapecoense's supporters
The club was founded as Associação Chapecoense de Futebol on May 10, 1973, after Atlético Chapecoense and Independente fused.[1]
In 1977, Chapecoense won its first title, which was the Santa Catarina State Championship, beating Avaí 1-0 in the final.[2]
In 1978, the club competed for the first time in the Brazilian Championship First Level, finishing in the 51st position,[3] and in following year, finished in the 93rd position.[4]
In 2002, due to a partnership, Chapecoense was renamed to Associação Chapecoense Kindermann/Mastervet. [1] In 2006, the club was renamed back to its original name, Associação Chapecoense de Futebol,[5] and also won the Copa Santa Catarina.[6]
In 2007, the club won for the third time the state championship,[7] and also competed in the Brazilian Championship Third Level, but was eliminated in the first stage of the competition.[8] They won the Campeonato Catarinense again in 2011.
