It was founded on April 14, 1912 by three football enthusiasts living in Santos, Marquis, Dikinbos and Junior. The team won the São Paulo Provincial League Championship for the first time in 1935, and repeated its old dream 20 years later in 1955. “Ball King” Pele joined Santos in 1956 at the age of 15 and led the team to win the Intercontinental Cup twice in 1962 and 1963.
It is worth mentioning that Neymar made his debut in the Santos youth training camp and joined Barcelona from Santos in 2013.
