Clube Atlético Mineiro (), commonly known as Atlético Mineiro or Atlético, and colloquially as Galo (, "Rooster") is a professional football club based in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The club plays in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the top tier of the Brazilian football league system, as well as in the Campeonato Mineiro, the premier state league of Minas Gerais. Atlético Mineiro is the oldest active football club in Minas Gerais. The club was founded on 25 March 1908 by twenty-two students from Belo Horizonte, led by Margival Mendes Leal and Mário Toledo. Despite having liberal, upper-class founders, the club opened its doors to players of every social class, establishing itself as a "people's club", and becoming one of the best supported in Brazil. Atlético has won the Campeonato Mineiro a record 43 times. At national level, the club has won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A once and has finished second on four occasions. Atlético has also won one Copa do Brasil, one Copa dos Campeões Estaduais and the Copa dos Campeões Brasileiros. In international club football, Atlético has won the Copa Libertadores once, the Recopa Sudamericana once and the Copa CONMEBOL twice, more than any other club. The team has also reached three other continental finals. The club plays the majority of its home matches at Estádio Independência, which holds up to 23,018 spectators. Mineirão, the club's ground for most of its history, is used as the team's home in important and high-attendance matches, holding 62,160 people. Atlético has a long-standing rivalry with Cruzeiro, with matches between the two teams known as the Clássico Mineiro. The club also holds an interstate rivalry with Flamengo, and a local one with América Mineiro. The team's regular home kit comprises black-and-white striped shirts, with black shorts and white socks.〔 The club's mascot, a rooster, has been strongly associated with Atlético since its introduction in the 1940s. Over the years, the word ''galo'' (Portuguese for "rooster") became a common nickname for the club itself. Atlético has the ninth most valuable brand in Brazil, worth million (€122.7 million), and ranks eighth in the country in terms of turnover, generating R$178.9 million in 2014 (€55.6 million). The club has also competed in other sports throughout its history, with the futsal department becoming especially notable. == History == (詳細はウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clube Atlético Mineiro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
