History
In 1909, several youngsters, members of the German community of Curitiba, usually met at Clube Ginástico Teuto-Brasileiro to do gymnastics exhibitions. In September that year, one of these youngsters, called Frederico Fritz Essenfelder, brought a leather football to the club. He explained to his colleagues the rules of football. The youngsters liked the new sport, and started to play football matches at Quartel da Força Pública field. On October 12 that year, they founded Coritibano Football Club. The club was founded at Teatro Hauer.
On October 23, 1909, Coritibano played its first match, in Ponta Grossa city, against Club de Foot-Ball Tiro Pontagrossense, a team formed by the English employees of Ponta Grossa railroad. The match ended 1-0 to the home team. Coritibano players were composed by the club founders: Artur Hauer, Alfredo Labsch, Leopoldo Obladen, Robert Juchsch, Carlos Schlender, Fritz Essenfelder, Carl Maschke, Waldemar Hauer, Rudolf Kastrup, Adolpho Müller, Emílio Dietrich, Erothides Calberg and Arthur Iwersen.
On April 21, 1910, the club's first assembly occurred, which changed the club name to Coritiba. Also João Viana Seiler was chose as the club's first president.
On June 12, 1910, was played the first football match in Curitiba city, at Campo do Prado, in Guabirotuba neighborhood. Coritiba beat Ponta Grossa Foot Ball Club 5-3. Ponta Grossa Foot Ball Club was the new name of Club de Foot-Ball Tiro Pontagrossense.
In 1916, Coritiba won its first title, the Campeonato Paranaense.
In 1985, Coritiba won its first national championship, defeating Bangu, and gaining the right to dispute the following year's Copa Libertadores.
In 2011, Coritiba achieved a worldwide record of 24 consecutive victories, winning the Campeonato Paranaense undefeated and reaching the Copa do Brasil final, losing the first match 0-1, but winning the second 3-2. Under normal regulations, the decision would have gone to penalties, but Copa do Brasil uses the away goal rule, something that no other cup in the world uses in the final.
