History [ edit ]

The beginning and professionalism at the club [ edit ]

On 7 September 1903, Brazil's oldest football team, Sport Club Rio Grande , played an exhibition match in Porto Alegre . An entrepreneur from Sorocaba , Sao Paulo, named Candido Dias was besotted with the sport and he went to watch the match. During the match, the ball deflated. As the only owner of a football in Porto Alegre, he lent his ball to the players and the match resumed. After the match, he talked to the local players about how to start a football club. On 15 September 1903, 32 people, including Candido Dias, met at Salao Grau, a local restaurant and founded "Gremio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense". Most of the founding members were part of the city's German community. ^[17] Carlos Luiz Bohrer was elected as first president. ^[18]

The club's first match took place on 6 March 1904, against Fuss Ball Porto Alegre, the first of two matches played that day. Gremio won the first match 1?0. Unfortunately, the name of the player who scored the club's first goal is lost to history. The trophy Gremio won that day, the Wanderpreis, is still displayed at the club's museum. Within 5 months the club had inaugurated the Baixada, its first home.

On 18 July 1909, Gremio beat Internacional 10?0 on the latter's debut game. Gremio's goalkeeper Kallfelz reportedly left the field to chat with fans during the match. Even now this victory is remembered with pride by Gremistas (Gremio supporters). The match was the starting point for a rivalry that rages on to this day. Gremio was one of the founding members of the Porto Alegre football league in 1910, and in 1911 won the league for the first time. On 25 August 1912, in a city league match, Gremio beat Sport Clube Nacional of Porto Alegre 23?0. Sisson scored 14 goals in the match to record Gremio's biggest ever win. In 1918, Gremio became a founding member of the Fundacao Rio-Grandense de Desportes (later known as Federacao Gaucha de Futebol ), a federation that organized the first state championships in Rio Grande do Sul . The first championship was scheduled for 1918, but the Spanish flu epidemic forced the event to be postponed until 1919. In 1921, a year after the arrival of legendary goalkeeper Eurico Lara , Gremio won its first state championship.

On 7 July 1911, Gremio beat Uruguay 's national team 2?1. In 1931, Gremio became one of the first teams in Brazil to play matches at night after installing floodlights at Estadio Baixada. On 19 May 1935, Gremio became the first team from Rio Grande do Sul to beat a team from the state of Sao Paulo (considered the strongest Brazilian league at the time) by defeating Santos 3?2. Gremio was also the first club outside Rio de Janeiro state to play at the Maracana Stadium, defeating Flamengo 3?1 in 1950.

During this period, Gremio started to earn a reputation abroad. In 1932 it played its first international match in Rivera (Uruguay). In 1949, the match against Uruguay's Nacional ended in a 3?1 win for Gremio and the players received a hero's welcome on their return to Porto Alegre. In that same year, Gremio played for the first time in Central America. Between 1953 and 1954, Gremio travelled to Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia, a tour dubbed "the conquest of the Americas". On 25 February 1959, Gremio defeated Boca Juniors 4?1 in Buenos Aires, becoming the first foreign team to beat Boca at La Bombonera .

In 1961, Gremio went on its first European tour playing 24 games in 11 countries: France, Romania, Belgium, Greece, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Denmark, Estonia and Russia. The Gremistas (Gremio fans) were growing in number. 1946 saw the first appearance of the club's motto "com o Gremio onde o Gremio estiver" ("with Gremio wherever Gremio may be"), which was later written into Gremio's official anthem. An anthem penned by Lupicinio Rodrigues , a samba-cancao composer who became one of the most famous and revered Gremio fans. The anthem celebrates the Gremistas reputation for attending all Gremio matches, regardless of the difficulties and obstacles they might have to overcome to see their club. In the late 1950s, Gremio joined the Taca Brasil , as the Brazilian league was known at the time. The team reached the Taca Brasil semi-finals in 1959, 1963 and 1967. In 1968, the team won its first international title in a friendly cup with teams from Brazil and Uruguay . In 1954, Gremio inaugurated what was at the time the biggest private stadium in Brazil, the Olimpico Stadium. In 1971, the Taca Brasil championship was replaced by the Campeonato Brasileiro with the first goal ever scored in the Campeonato Brasileiro coming from Gremio's Nestor Scotta , an Argentine , in a match against Sao Paulo at Estadio do Morumbi . ^[19] Gremio maintained a series of respectable results in Campeonato Brasileiro, usually achieving a top half finish.

Valdir Espinosa and the Intercontinental Cup 1983 [ edit ]

Gremio's first dominant period in South American football began in the early 1980s. Propelled by the completion of their new stadium, the Olimpico Monumental .

Gremio won its first Campeonato Brasileiro on 3 May 1981, after defeating Sao Paulo at the Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo. The scores in the two-leg final were 2?1 at Olimpico and 1?0 for Gremio at Morumbi. The winning goal was scored by striker Baltazar. Earlier, on 26 April 1981 Olimpico had its biggest attendance ever, when 98,421 fans watched Gremio lose to Ponte Preta 0?1 in the Campeonato Brasileiro semi-final.

1983 was the most successful year in Gremio's history. First, Gremio won the South-American Copa Libertadores , after a consistent yet eventful campaign. One of the matches of the semi-final, the 3?3 draw against Estudiantes at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium , became legendary for its belligerence on and off the pitch and is dubbed the "Batalha de La Plata" ("Battle of La Plata"). ^{[20] [21]} In the finals, Gremio beat the 1982 South America and World champions Penarol from Uruguay, with a 1?1 draw in Montevideo and a 2?1 win in Porto Alegre. The winning goal was scored by Cesar just before the end of the match. A year later, Gremio was runner-up in the Copa Libertadores final, being defeated by Argentina's Independiente .

Also in 1983, Gremio won the Intercontinental Cup after defeating Hamburger SV of Germany 2?1. ^[22] Renato Portaluppi scored both goals. With Uruguayan defender De Leon and goalkeeper Mazaropi also earning club legend status on the back of their performances in the Copa Libertadores and Intercontinental Cup. Porto Alegre, was deafened by the gremista's chant of: "The Earth is Blue" . Soon after winning the Intercontinental Cup, Gremio beat America of Mexico in Los Angeles, and won the Los Angeles Cup .

In 1989, Gremio won the first Copa do Brasil , a Brazilian knockout cup featuring football teams from all around the country. After humiliating Flamengo with a 6?1 win in the second leg of the semi-finals, Gremio defeated Sport Recife in the final, with a 0?0 draw in Recife and a 2?1 win in Porto Alegre.

In 1991, after a poor season, Gremio was relegated for the first time to the Brazilian Second Division ^[23] but gained immediate promotion back to the Campeonato Brasileiro's elite the following season (1993). After this return to form, 1994 saw Gremio win its second Copa do Brasil, defeating Ceara in the two-leg final (0?0 and 1?0), the solitary goal scored by striker Nildo. This win kickstarted the club's Tokyo Project .

On 11 December 1994, due a bloated and extensive schedule, Gremio had to play three matches in a single day at the Olimpico Monumental during the 1994 Campeonato Gaucho . These matches began at 2 p.m., 4 p.m., and 8 p.m. against Aimore , Santa Cruz , and Brasil de Pelotas respectively. They drew the first match and won the other two, using a total of 34 different players from the first team, reserves and academy . The matches had a small public attendance of 758 fans ? 247 paying. The matches were also played in temperatures of 45 °C (113 °F) in the summer heat of Porto Alegre. ^[24]

Luiz Felipe Scolari and the Libertadores 1995 [ edit ]

In May 1995, under head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari , Gremio were runners-up in the Copa do Brasil , losing the final match to Corinthians 0?1 at Olimpico Monumental. In August, a few days after beating arch-rivals Internacional for the state title with a reserve squad, the club won the Copa Libertadores for the second time. Defeating Atletico Nacional of Colombia 3?1 in Porto Alegre and drawing 1?1 in Medellin . The tournament was marked by fierce matches against Palmeiras in the quarter-finals. Palmeiras had perhaps the best squad on the competition, with players such as Rivaldo , Cafu , Edmundo , Cesar Sampaio , Antonio Carlos , Roberto Carlos and Mancuso . They were soundly beaten by Gremio in the 1st leg in an epic 5?0 match with a hat-trick from Mario Jardel . Palmeiras beat Gremio 5?1 in the return leg, with Jardel's lone strike proving enough to see Gremio through to the Semi-finals.

This qualified the club to the 1995 Intercontinental Cup where Gremio pushed a talented Ajax (featuring Patrick Kluivert , Overmars , Van Der Sar and Kanu ) into extra time and penalties despite being a player down. Early 1996 saw Gremio win the Recopa Sudamericana , beating Argentina's Independiente 4?1.

On 15 December 1996, Gremio won its second Campeonato Brasileiro , defeating Portuguesa in the final. Portuguesa won the first match at home 2?0, and therefore Gremio was forced to win the final match at Porto Alegre by the same score or more. Gremio got to 2?0, with midfielder Ailton scoring the second goal a few minutes before the final whistle. Gremio won the title due to their higher finish in the league.

In 1997, Gremio won their third Copa do Brasil title. In the finals against Romario 's Flamengo , Gremio won on away goals after a 0?0 draw in Porto Alegre and a 2?2 draw in Rio de Janeiro. Four years later, in 2001, Gremio won their fourth Copa do Brasil, defeating Corinthians . The first leg of the final, in Porto Alegre, finished with the score of 2?2. The second game in Sao Paulo ended with a 3?1 Gremio victory, in a match which is regarded as one of the finest in Gremio's history.

Second relegation, Batalha dos Aflitos and the Libertadores 2007 [ edit ]

On 2000, Gremio closed a multi-million deal with Swiss sports marketing firm International Sport and Leisure (ISL). ^[25] With the newfound income, Gremio made large investments and expensive hirings, such as Zinho , Paulo Nunes , Gabriel Amato and Leonardo Astrada . ^[26] However, soon in 2001 ISL went bust after a large corruption scandal involving FIFA . After declaring bankruptcy, the company transferred part its debt to Gremio. ^[27] The club's quickly amassed debt would spiral out of control, soon they would be unable to pay player's salaries and do other investments, which resulted in poor field performance. ^[28]

In 2004, after performing poorly for two consecutive seasons in the Serie A, Gremio finished bottom of the league and were relegated to Campeonato Brasileiro's Second Division . ^[29] Serie B brought even less revenue, which combined with the club's large debt threatented to snowball into Gremio's bankruptcy. ^[28] Gremio's promotion battle was difficult, with only two clubs able to qualify for promotion to the First Division. On 26 November 2005, at Estadio dos Aflitos , Recife against Nautico , Gremio had four players sent off and two penalty given kicks against them in a tumultuous match that has become known as " The Battle of the Aflitos " ("A Batalha dos Aflitos", "Aflitos" being the name of Nautico's home field).

Bruno Carvalho bounced the first penalty bounced off the post in the first half when Gremio still had 11 players on the field; the second was saved by goalkeeper Galatto when had been reduced to 7 men. Within 72 seconds of Galatto saving the penalty 17-year-old Anderson had made a run down the left flank to slot the ball into the back of the net to score Gremio's winning goal. A goal that sealed the Serie B championship and promotion to the Serie A.

On 9 April 2006, at Estadio Beira-Rio , Gremio won the state championship against Internacional , preventing them from winning a fifth title in a row. Playing away, Gremio managed to obtain a 1?1 draw in the second leg of the final, enough to secure the title on away goals. Gremio players said after the match that there were more than 50,000 Internacional fans in Beira Rio's Stadium and they could still hear the noise made by 6,000 Gremistas. In 2007, at Estadio Olimpico Monumental , Gremio won the Campeonato Gaucho once again this time against Juventude .

Also in 2007, Gremio reached the final of the 2007 Copa Libertadores . Throughout the campaign the team overcame away losses by putting in heroic home performances and earning the moniker of Imortal Tricolor. This also pumped up the fans who even after a heavy 3?0 away defeat to Boca Juniors formed huge lines to buy tickets for the final game in Porto Alegre. with some of the fans queuing for four days or more. Unfortunately fan fervor wasn't enough with Riquelme's magnificent performance handing Boca Juniors a 2?0 win and the Copa Libertadores title.

Renato Portaluppi and the Libertadores 2017 [ edit ]

In 2008, after the sudden firing of their head coach Vagner Mancini, the club hired Celso Roth . Within a month they had prematurely dropped out of both the domestic cup ( Copa do Brasil ) and their state championship ( Campeonato Gaucho ). This led to the team going through a state of crisis and, soon after, major renovation. They were expected to finish in the bottom half of the Campeonato Brasileiro but managed to finish in second place. For many supporters, even that was considered a failure as in the first half of the championship, the team was in fine form and even considered the best in the country. At the halfway point of the season the team had a 10-point lead over second place that they would eventually surrender in the final games of the season.

2012 marked the last year of the club's former stadium, Olimpico Monumental . Fan expectations were high but were not matched by the team's performance. Gremio did, however, qualify for the Libertadores the following year.

In 2014, the club once again qualified for the Copa Libertadores de America and signed Enderson Moreira as the new manager. ^[30] However, after a successful campaign in the group stage, Gremio failed in the competition and were eliminated by San Lorenzo in the Round of 16 . ^[31] A few days before, the club was defeated 6?2 on aggregate by their biggest rival, the Internacional , in the finals of the Campeonato Gaucho . ^[32] With nothing more than a regular campaign at the beginning of the Serie A , club president Fabio Koff signed Luiz Felipe Scolari as the new coach of the team. The club also invested in Giuliano , the biggest hiring of the year. ^[33]

In 2015, former Gremio player Roger Machado was hired as the new manager. A short lived but initially successful run, Machado's time with Gremio saw them qualify for the 2016 Copa Libertadores with a finish in the Campeonato Brasileiro in 3rd place. Machado oversaw a famous victory over beat bitter rivals Internacional with a 5?0 drubbing in " Grenal " No. 407. Nonetheless, towards the end of the year, the team began to show a lack of organization, especially in its defensive system. As fan support dwindled, Roger announced his resignation after a 3?0 loss against Ponte Preta in September 2016. Renato Portaluppi replaced him and under his guidance a resurgent Gremio became champions of the Copa do Brasil against Atletico Mineiro in a 4?2 aggregate score, making them the Brazilian club with the most titles in this tournament (5). After this historic feat, fans affectionately nicknamed Gremio the "Rei de Copas" (King of Cups).

In 2017, Gremio won their third Libertadores, after defeating Club Atletico Lanus 1?0 at Arena do Gremio , followed by a 2?1 victory in Estadio Ciudad de Lanus . Luan was named the player of the tournament, while goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe performed spectacularly with a heroic, almost impossible save in the semi-final match against Barcelona Sporting Club . They became the third Brazilian club to win a third Copa Libertadores, after Sao Paulo and Santos .

The club went on to represent CONMEBOL at the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup , held in the United Arab Emirates. Gremio beat Pachuca 1?0 in a tight semi-final, the goal coming from Everton in extra-time. They were beaten 0?1 by Real Madrid in the final .

2018 Season and Libertadores [ edit ]

Gremio once again finished 4th in the 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro securing a place in the Copa Libertadores de America having been knocked out in the semi-final of the tournament on goal-difference in 2018 by a late River Plate goal to end the match 2?2. The goal was scored from a penalty, given on review of a handball by the VAR from Matheus Bressan in the 95th minute. ^[34] Bressan was subsequently transferred. ^[35] In the hours following the match it was revealed that River Plate manager Marcelo Gallardo had broken the rules of his touchline ban at half-time by entering the River dressing room. Gremio appealed the result within 24 hours of the final whistle based on this information. It took CONMEBOL 2 days to deliberate, deciding that the result should stand, with Gallardo receiving a $50,000 fine and a 4-match suspension (1 from the Bombonera Stadium for the first leg of the Libertadores final against Boca Juniors and 3 subsequent touchline bans). ^[36] River Plate would go on to win the Copa Libertadores de America after further controversy.

In the 2020 season Gremio met their rivals Internacional at Copa Libertadores for the first time in history. The first leg at the Arena do Gremio ended in controversy as a fight broke out between Gremio's Pepe and Inter's Moises which quickly escalated into a full-brawl between the two teams and eight players ? three of each team in the field and more two from the bench ? were sent off. The match ended on a tie. ^[37]

2021 crises, relegation and return [ edit ]

The 2020 saw a decline on the performance of the team, while they were able to secure the Campeonato Gaucho , they finished in 6th in the Brasileirao which didn't guarantee their berth to the Libertadores for the first time since 2013, having to play at the qualifying stages . The team later fail to qualify to the 2021 Copa Libertadores after losing to Ecuador's Independiente del Valle . ^[38] The defeat ended up causing the resignation of Renato Portaluppi , who had worked at the club for almost five years.

In 2021, Gremio was elected the best club in South America of the decade, between the years 2011?2020, in a survey carried out by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS). The ranking took into account the points scored by clubs in the organization's Club World Ranking each year. ^[39]

Portaluppi's replacement was Tiago Nunes , with whom Gremio qualified for the next phase of the Copa Sudamericana and won the Campeonato Gaucho in the final played against Internacional. However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused various infections among the squad, which combined with a series of expensive yet supbar hirings, lack organization at the football department (previously heavily depedent on Renato Portaluppi's decisions), as well as other factors ^[40] resulted in a weak performance at the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro , getting just two points from seven games and dropping to bottom of the league table. Nunes was fired and replaced with Luiz Felipe Scolari , in turn, also failed to lead the club out of the relegation zone and ended up leaving by mutual agreement after three months of work. ^{[41] [42]} Vagner Mancini , then America Mineiro coach, was hired for his place in October. Without achieving results, Gremio finished the championship relegated for the third time to the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie B . ^{[43] [44]}

After a weak start in the 2022 Campeonato Gaucho , Mancini was fired and replaced with Roger Machado , who led to the team to a fifth Gauchao title in sequence after a victory against rival's Internacional in the semi-finals and the finals against Ypiranga . ^[45] In September Machado was replaced by a returning Renato Portaluppi. ^[46] The Serie B campaign was enough to guarantee access to return to the Serie A in 2023. ^[47]

In December 2022, Gremio announced that Luis Suarez would be joining the club for a two-year contract. ^[48] The signing drew worldwide attention to the club. ^[49] Suarez made his debut on 17 January 2023 in a match against Sao Luiz for the 2023 Recopa Gaucha . Suarez scored a hat-trick in a 4?1 win. ^[50] With him on the squad, Gremio was able to conquer the 2023 Campeonato Gaucho , the sixth in row. ^[51] In July, citing knee injuries and pain, Suarez later shortened his contract to only one year with the club. ^[52] With Suarez, Gremio achieved 2nd place in the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A , qualifying the team for a spot on the 2024 Copa Libertadores .

In 2024, Gremio won 2024 Campeonato Gaucho for the seventh time in a row, with Renato Gaucho as a manager.

Symbols [ edit ]

Stars [ edit ]

According to the club, the gold star represents the victory in the World Club Championship; the silver represents the three South American competition victories; and the bronze one represents the National competitions. There is also a gold star in Gremio's flag that represents a player, Everaldo , the sole Gremio player in the 1970 Brazilian World Cup winning team .

Flag [ edit ]

The first club flag was unveiled by the club during the opening ceremony for the Baixada stadium. At that time, it had a horizontal stripe of blue, black and white, with a medallion on the left top corner. The Brazilian Flag was the inspiration for the Tricolor's standard from 1918 to 1944.

Mascot [ edit ]

Gremio's mascot is the Musketeer . The cartoonist Pompeo, drawing for defunct newspaper Folha da Tarde drew a musketeer, inspired by Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers , with the colors of Gremio to represent the club in 1946. The aim was to use Dumas' musketeers as a symbol of the spirit of unity between players, management and fans, as well as being a symbol of bravery and determination. A banner with the slogan "With Gremio wherever Gremio is". ( Portuguese : Com o Gremio onde estiver o Gremio ) with an image of Pompeo's musketeer appeared in the same year at the ´ Estadio da Baixada , as well as the club's internal newspaper adopted the name "O Mosqueteiro". ^[53]

On December 1st, 2023, Gremio unveiled a new mascot, "Black Arrow" ( Portuguese : Flecha Negra ), inspired by club legend Tarciso . ^[54] However, Flecha Negra wasn't made to replace the Musketeer, but rather to appear alongside him.

Anthem [ edit ]

Gremio's anthem is one of the most critically acclaimed in all of Brazilian football, other than the anthems of the clubs from Rio de Janeiro (all composed by Lamartine Babo), it is the only football anthem composed by a renowned composer, Lupicinio Rodrigues . Featuring a vivid melody in the style of a march, the anthem features the famous verses: Ate a pe nos iremos / para o que der e vier / mas o certo e que nos estaremos / com o Gremio onde o Gremio estiver (Even on foot we will go / against all obstacles / but we sure will be / with Gremio wherever Gremio may be). Gremio supporters boast that Gremio, as the anthem hints, has never played without supporters anywhere in the world.

Eurico Lara , a goalkeeper who played for the club in the 1920s and in the 1930s, is mentioned in the anthem, where he is called the immortal idol (or craque imortal , in Portuguese).

Team kit [ edit ]

Gremio tricolour scheme is made up of blue, black, and white, an unusual colour combination for football shirts. The first Gremio kit was inspired by English club Exeter City . At the time, the original kit included a black cap , striped shirt in blue and havana (a variation of brown), white tie , white shorts, and black socks. Subsequently, the uniform was changed to blue and black due to the lack of havana fabric. Soon after, vertical white stripes were included in the kit creating a pattern that is used to the present day. Because of this pattern, Gremio is commonly referred as the "Tricolor". The Gremio colors are set in the club statute as so;

• Home colors ? vertical stripes of light blue and black, with white piping;
• Away colors ? white with blue and black detail;
• Alternative colors ? dark blue or blue with white details.

It was in the early 1980s that Gremio received its first official sponsor , with the Brazilian Olympikus providing sports equipment . The partnership lasted until early 1983, when, on account of the brilliant moment that had been living in their history, the Gremio has signed a contract with a German Adidas to supply sports material. However, the partnership was short-lived, as in 1985, with the end of the contract with Adidas, a new supplier emerged, returning to the national level with Penalty .

In 1987, for the first time in its history the Gremio signed a sponsorship agreement for stamping the shirt, with Coca-Cola . This turn in their campaigns unprecedentedly exchanged their traditional red logo for black, because this color belongs to Internacional , its biggest rival , and it was vetoed by Gremio.

Sponsorship of Penalty and Coca-Cola persisted with Gremio for nearly a decade until, in 1995, the soft drink brand left the main sponsor of the shirts, which was assumed by Tintas Renner, a paint manufacturer, until 1997. In 1998, General Motors assumed this position, exposing numerous names of vehicles throughout the partnership. At the beginning of the 21st century, Penalty left the club, with the Italian Kappa providing sports equipment.

In 2001, for the payment of debts, Gremio closed an agreement with the state government of Rio Grande do Sul , exposing Banrisul banking mark on his shirt. However, after payment, it was Banrisul who assumed the payments and became the master sponsor of the club. In 2005 the contract with Kappa came to an end, after this, kits were the responsibility of another German in club history, Puma . Also from this era, Gremio opened more spaces for smaller sponsors, with the first being Tramontina, Unimed , TIM and the return of Coca-Cola . In 2011, once again changing the supplier of sports equipment occurs, this time taking the Brazilian Topper , under the value of €4.8 million per season, which operates in the South American market, with a contract until the end of 2014. Beginning in 2015 season, the British company Umbro supplied sports equipment of Gremio, paying the value of €6 million per year. ^[56]

Stadium [ edit ]

Gremio's original stadium was the Estadio da Baixada , built in 1904 at the upper-class neighbourhood of Moinhos de Vento in Porto Alegre. It was made to please the city's growing colony of Germans , who were concentrated in the region. The Estadio da Baixada hosted Gremio until 1954.

The second stadium was the Estadio Olimpico Monumental . It was inaugurated on 19 September 1954 as Estadio Olimpico, located in the neighbourhood of Azenha . At the time it was the largest private stadium in Brazil . Estadio Olimpico's first game was between Gremio and Nacional from Uruguay ; Gremio won by a score of 2?0, with both goals scored by Vitor. In 1980 a second tier was added to the Olimpico, and the stadium was renamed the Olimpico Monumental. The first game at the renamed Olimpico Monumental was played on 21 June 1980, when Gremio beat Vasco da Gama by a score of 1?0. The Olimpico Monumental has an attendance record of 98,421 people for the game against Ponte Preta on 26 April 1981.

By the 2000s, the board of directors start to study what to do with the aging Olimpico, the stadium did not meet the club's expectations, due to the construction's lifetime, high maintenance costs, low comfort standards, low quality of services, poor security, insufficient parking and a highly populated region. ^[57] The club instead decided to build a new stadium. The project was approved in 2008 and the construction of a new stadium started in September 2010. ^[58]

In 2012, Gremio moved into their new stadium, Arena do Gremio , a big multi-use stadium in Porto Alegre . Its capacity is 55,225 and is one of the most modern venues in South America. The inaugural match in Arena was a friendly against Hamburger SV on 8 December 2012. The attendance record was of 52,223 people at the 2016 Copa do Brasil Finals against Atletico Minero . ^[59] The Arena also hosted the first leg of the 2017 Copa Libertadores Finals against Lanus .

The club also rents the Estadio Antonio Vieira Ramos in the city of Gravatai , in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, as the home stadium for its women's team . ^[60]

Training centre [ edit ]

The first location for training used by Gremio was the additional field built next door of Estadio Olimpico Monumental . However, it can not be exactly characterized as a training centre. In 2000 the construction of the first training centre of the club, the CT Helio Dourado , in Eldorado do Sul , in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre was completed, but, because of it being located quite far away, it ended up being used for club's Academy .

In 2014,the construction of the new training center of Gremio, the CT Luiz Carvalho , located next to the Arena do Gremio , in Porto Alegre was finished. It is adjacent to the Guaiba River , and has one of the most beautiful views of the city with the stadium and a cable-stayed bridge in the background.

Supporters [ edit ]

Gremio fans are called "gremistas" or "tricolores". Originally, Gremio was a club heavily supported by Brazilians of German descent of Rio Grande do Sul . Over time, that distinction has reduced, and today the fan base is very diverse. The club, together with Internacional , divide the population of Rio Grande do Sul; ^[61] Gremio is also the most popular club in western Santa Catarina and south-west Parana . ^[62] The club has around 8 million fans in the country, meaning that, in terms of ranking, the club is the 6th most supporters in the Brazil . The largest outside the Rio de Janeiro-Sao Paulo axis . ^[63] A 2022 research pointed out that Gremio has the most "loyal" fans in Brazil. The survey that measured the size of the fans in the country identified that 90.6% of Gremio fans say they support Gremio exclusively and that only 9.4% of Gremio fans supported or sympathized with another Brazilian football team. ^[64] In 2023, Gremio had more than 100,000 socios (club-members/associates). ^[65]

Geral do Gremio [ edit ]

The largest group of Gremio supporters is Geral do Gremio, the first and largest Brazilian barra brava , ^[66] movement similar to European ultras and Brazil's own torcidas organizadas , but with unique characteristics of Latin America. The group was created during the year 2001 with Gremio fans watching games from the seats behind the southern goal at Estadio Olimpico Monumental (an area of the stands called "Geral", as in "general", where tickets had lower costs). The fans were inspired by neighbouring Argentina's and Uruguay's hinchadas and barras bravas, an experience coming from trips to Copa Libertadores away games and cultural links between Rio Grande do Sul and those countries. As well a period of decadence of Gremio's traditional Brazilian-style torcidas organizadas in the 1990s. ^[67] Over the following years, more people joined the movement, and they decided to collectively call themselves by the name of the area from where they watched the games. A unique and traditional feature of the crowd is running down the stand (a movement called the "avalanche"), pressing against the fence when a goal is scored as a way to also embrace the players in celebration. ^[67]

Being a barra brava , the Geral do Gremio has differences with the ultras and the torcidas organizadas . They are a free membership group (which means that they do not charge a monthly fee), do not have their own uniforms, nor control over who participates. On games they bring a band consisting of percussion and brass instruments, dictating the rhythm of the chants throughout the game, never stopping or sitting. Banners and flags are exhibited in the length of the sector in which they are located inside the stadium, bringing a unique identity to their supporters. Also, wherever possible, they use flare , smoke bombs , fire extinguishers , among other materials to encourage the team on the field. In the Arena do Gremio , which opened in December 2012, the lower northern stand was built with no chairs, with the Geral crowd and its "avalanche" celebration in mind. However, in January 2013 on a game against L.D.U. Quito the avalanche resulted on the fence breaking and many fans falling into the trench that separated the stands from the pitch. Safety barriers were installed to make the avalanche impossible. ^[68]

The Geral enjoys good relationships with some other torcidas organizadas in Brazil, but due the inspiration on the platinean barra bravas , the Geral has a strong bond with Nacional's La Banda Del Parque . Members of both groups frequently do confraternizations together, and members frequently attend each other's games. ^[69]

Other supporters [ edit ]

Other supporters group includes the Torcida Jovem do Gremio ( Young Gremio supporters ), the oldest in operation, founded in 1977 and was considered the main supporters group until the late 1990s; ^[70] Rasta do Gremio, Super Raca Gremista, Garra Tricolor, Mafia Tricolor and the Velha Escola ( Old School , a schism from the Geral). There are also exclusively female supporters group, such as the Nucleo de Mulheres Gremistas and the Elis Vive Collective. ^[71]

Another historically important group is Coligay, recognized to be Brazil's first LGBT supporter group. ^{[72] [73]} The group was founded in 1977 and suffered of homophobic attacks from rival team's fans and repression by the Brazilian military dictatorship's government. ^{[72] [73]} However, the group was relatively accepted by Gremio's regular fans and supporters as their founding coincided with the end of a long drought and a streak of titles, which gave Goligay the fame of being a " lucky charm ". ^{[72] [73]} The group closed in 1983 but its legacy has since been adopted by newer fans. ^[72]

Rivalries [ edit ]

Grenal [ edit ]

As the years went on, Gremio and another important football club from Porto Alegre , Internacional , started to form a rivalry. Soon the games between these two clubs got their own name, Grenal, and resulted in record attendance. The rivalry divides the state of Rio Grande do Sul and the city of Porto Alegre in half. It is one of the fiercest football rivalries in Brazil, South America and the world. It is accompanied by high levels of emotion, competition and occasional violence. ^[16]

The first match was held in 1909, Gremio won the first Grenal in history by the score of 10 to 0. The team led the statistics of Grenais in the first years of dispute until they were surpassed in 1945 by Internacional, which held the advantage in victories until today. ^[74] In 1935, Eurico Lara, who was Gremio's goalie, conceded a penalty kick. When the Internacional player was about to kick it, Lara's brother stopped the game and reminded him of his doctor's recommendation that he didn't overexert himself. He didn't listen. Soon the Internacional player took the shot. Lara caught it, but as soon as he did he fell sideways and didn't move. He was substituted after the wondrous save, and Gremio won the game. But unfortunately he died two months later as a result of the fatigue from that game. Lara has been immortalized in the club anthem.

Gre-Ju [ edit ]

Gre-Ju is another rivalry of Rio Grande do Sul , between Gremio and Juventude from Caxias do Sul . For most of its history, the rivalry was one-sided as Juventude was traditionally a weaker team, but it heated up in the 1990s as Juventude grew to be the third powerhouse of the state. ^{[75] [76]}
