Sport Club Corinthians Paulista (Brazilian Portuguese: [isˈpɔɾtʃi ˈklubi koˈɾĩtʃɐ̃s pawˈlistɐ] ()), commonly referred to as Corinthians, is a Brazilian professional 💻 sports club based in São Paulo, in the district of Tatuapé.
[1] Although competing in multiple sports modalities, it is best 💻 known for its professional men's football team, which plays in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A,[nb 1], the top tier of 💻 Brazilian football, as well as in the Campeonato Paulista Série A1,[nb 2] the first division of the traditional in-state competition.
Founded 💻 in 1910 by five railway workers inspired by the London-based Corinthian Football Club, Corinthians traditionally plays in a white and 💻 black home kit.
Their long-established crest was first introduced in 1939 by modernist painter Francisco Rebolo featuring the São Paulo state 💻 flag in a shield, two oars, and an anchor representing the club's early success in nautical sports.
Corinthians has played their 💻 home matches at the Neo Química Arena since 2014, which served as one of the venues in the 2014 FIFA 💻 World Cup, also having hosted the opening match.
