Football club
Corinthians Futebol Clube de Santo André, commonly known as Corinthians de Santo André or Corinthinhas, is a Brazilian sports club based in Santo André, São Paulo.
It was founded on 15 August 1912, under the name Corinthians Foot-Ball Club. At that point, the team was known as "Corinthians de São Bernardo", since Santo André was a district of São Bernardo do Campo. In 1938 when the city of Santo André was emancipated from São Bernardo do Campo the club became known as "Corinthians de Santo André."
The team played twelve editions of the São Paulo football championship, for the second, third and fourth divisions[1] and disputed one season in the São Paulo top flight, in the 1927 APEA championship. Currently, it only contests amateur championships.
