Clube Atlético Mineiro is a Brazilian professional football club based in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Since 1972, the year of the club's first participation in a continental competition, Atlético Mineiro has won four official titles at international level: the Copa Libertadores once (in 2014), the Copa CONMEBOL twice (in 1992, the inaugural edition, and in 1997), and the Recopa Sudamericana once (in 2014). In addition, the club was runner-up of the Copa CONMEBOL in 1995, the Copa de Oro in 1993 and the Copa Master de CONMEBOL in 1996. As Brazilian champions in 1971, the club qualified for the 1972 Copa Libertadores, its first continental participation, in which it did not advance from the first group stage. Atlético Mineiro debuted in the inaugural editions of the Copa CONMEBOL, in 1992, the Copa de Oro, in 1993, and the Copa Master de CONMEBOL, in 1996. Its first and only appearance in the Copa Mercosur happened in the 2000 edition, and the debut at the Copa Sudamericana happened in 2003, the first edition in which Brazilian clubs participated. The club's first and only appearance in an intercontinental competition happened in the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup, in which it finished in third place. In total, Atlético has participated in 22 continental competition editions and in one edition of an intercontinental competition. Each of the club's four international titles was won with a different manager in charge, while thirteen players have won two titles with Atlético. The club's biggest-margin win at international level is 6–0, achieved two times, against Mineros in the 1995 Copa CONMEBOL and against Cobreloa in the 2000 Copa Libertadores. Goalkeeper Victor is the player with most appearances in international competitions for the club, with 31, while forward Guilherme is Atlético's top goalscorer with 12 goals. == Background == Prior to the inception of official international competitions, Atlético Mineiro had been the first club in Minas Gerais to play against a foreign club, when in 1929 it defeated Portuguese club Vitória de Setúbal 3–1 in Belo Horizonte. The club then had played friendlies with foreign sides, including national teams, over the following decades, and in 1950 went into its first European tour, in which the team played ten games in five countries. Having taken place soon after the traumatic Maracanazo, the tour and Atlético's results, many of which achieved under adverse weather conditions and snow, were seen by national sports media as a historic achievement for Brazilian football itself. The first continental competition organised by CONMEBOL, the governing body of football in South America, was the 1960 Copa Libertadores. Before this first official tournament, Chilean club Colo-Colo's president Robinson Alvarez had the idea for a South American Championship of Champions, which was eventually held in Santiago in 1948. In 1958, the new CONMEBOL president, Brazilian José Ramos de Freitas, contacted South American football associations intending to introduce an annual competition for clubs in the continent. The following year, at a CONMEBOL congress in Caracas, the creation of the South American Champions Cup was decided, renamed as Copa Libertadores in 1966 in honour of the heroes of South American liberation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Copa Libertadores. Historia )〕 Copa Libertadores was the only continental competition in South America until the creation of the Supercopa Libertadores and the Recopa Sudamericana in 1988. The first was contested between past champions of the main continental tournament, while the second was disputed between the annual winners of the Libertadores and the Supercopa. In 1992 CONMEBOL introduced the Copa CONMEBOL, a competition for the best placed clubs in the national leagues that did not qualify for the Copa Libertadores, and many other smaller "Copas" were also created by the continental confederation in the 1990s, some with only one edition. Another tournament was introduced in 1998, the Copa Mercosur, which eventually replaced the Supercopa and the Copa CONMEBOL. It was itself replaced by the Copa Sudamericana in 2002, which remains an active tournament. From 1969 to 2004, CONMEBOL and UEFA, the administrative body of European football, jointly organised the Intercontinental Cup, a competition for the winners of the Copa Libertadores and the European Cup (later, the UEFA Champions League). It was replaced in 2005 by the FIFA Club World Cup, which includes the winners of the competitions of all six continental confederations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clube Atlético Mineiro in international club football」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
