Wikipedia - Paraná Clube

Paraná Clube, commonly referred to as Paraná, is a Brazilian professional club based in Curitiba, Paraná founded on 19 December 1989. It competes in the Campeonato Paranaense Série Prata, the second tier of the Paraná state football league.

Established on 19 December 1989, in the Vila Capanema district, it is one of several Brazilian clubs called Tricolor da Vila ("tricolored of the town") by its fans because it has three team colors. Paraná's three colors are red, white and blue. Apart from football, other sports sponsored at the club are bowling, futsal, martial arts, tennis, volleyball and weight-lifting.

History

On 19 December 1989, Paraná Clube was founded by the merger of EC Pinheiros (three times winner of the state championship (1967 as Savóia FC Água Verde, 1984, 1987)), and Colorado EC (winner of one state championship (1980)). Rubens Minelli was hired as the club's first manager, and Emerson de Andrade was chosen as the director of football.

The club's first match was played on 4 February 1990, when Coritiba beat Paraná 1–0 at the Estádio Couto Pereira.

In 1991, two years after the club's foundation, Paraná won its first state championship. Later, Paraná would win five state championships in a row, from 1993 to 1997.

In 1992, the club won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, gaining the right to compete in the following year's Série A. After 8 years, Paraná Clube won another national championship. In 2000, Paraná beat AD São Caetano to win the Yellow Module of the João Havelange Cup. This cup replaced the Campeonato Brasileiro (all levels), which had been suspended for one year.

On 9 April 2006, Paraná Clube won the Paraná State League for the 7th time after beating ADAP of Campo Mourão 3–0 in the Maringá and drawing 1–1 at Pinheirão Stadium. The attendance of the final match was 25,306 supporters. 2006 was one of the club's best ever years, finishing fifth in the 2006 Série A and gaining a berth for the 2007 Libertadores. Highlights of the campaign were victories over Gremio (5-2), Flamengo (4-1), and Ponte Preta (5-2).

Estadio Vila Capanema was renovated in 2006. The capacity rose to 20,083 spectators, and the inaugural match was held on 20 September 2006 when Paraná beat Fortaleza 2–0 in the Campeonato Brasileiro.[]

In 2007, Paraná played its first Copa Libertadores match. In the first stage, Paraná eliminated Cobreloa from Chile, winning the first leg 2–0 in Calama and drawing 1–1 in Curitiba. In the group stage, composed by Parana Clube, Flamengo, Union Maracaibo and Real Potosi, the club finished in second place. Paraná was eliminated in the Round of 16 by Libertad, of Paraguay. In the 2007 Serie A, the club spent most of the season in mid table, but after a heavy 6-0 loss to Sao Paulo the club went into free-fall, losing ten of their last fifteen matches.

After 10 years in the second division, Paraná gained access to the first division of the Brazilian Championship, defeating CRB 1-0 for the 37th round of Serie B 2017. In the 2018 Serie A, the club had an even worse campaign from 2007, registering only 4 wins all season and finishing in last place with 23 points.

Since then the club has been in a free-fall, suffering a double relegation; in 2020 Parana was relegated after an poor campaign in the Serie B, and the following season the club was relegated from the Serie C. In 2022, the club was relegated from the state league's top division.
