History

Caxias was founded in 1935, as Grêmio Esportivo Flamengo, which had been a fusion of two other teams (Rui Barbosa and Rio Branco). However the club, as well as Juventude folded due to a financial crisis in the 1960s. On December 14 1971 both teams merged into Associação Caxias de Futebol. In 1975, Juventude back down from Associação Caxias de Futebol, and Grêmio Esportivo Flamengo adopted the name Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Caxias do Sul. The club's greatest feat was the 2000 Campeonato Gaúcho title.
