Bangu Atlético Clube, or Bangu as they are usually called, is a traditional Brazilian football team from Bangu, Rio de Janeiro in Rio de Janeiro, founded on April 17, 1904.

Home stadium is the Moça Bonita stadium, capacity 15,000.

History

The club has its origins in Fábrica Bangu (Bangu Factory), located in Bangu neighborhood, Rio de Janeiro. Some Englishmen that worked at the factory, especially Thomas Donohoe, introduced football to the factory workers by bringing footballs to the place.

In December of 1903, Andrew Procter suggested the foundation of a club, when he realized how enthusiastic his colleagues were for football. The club was founded on April 17, 1904 as Bangu Atlético Clube.

In 1933, Bangu won its first state championship.

In 1967, Bangu, as the Houston Stars, represented the city of Houston in the United Soccer Association. The club finished with four victories, four draws and four defeats, but led the competition's attendance, with an average of 19,000 supporters per match.

In 1966, Bangu won its second state championship.

In 1985, Bangu was the runner-up of Campeonato Brasileiro, gaining the right to dispute the following year's Copa Libertadores.
