History
On June 15, 1913, a group of boys, which included Antônio Miguez, José Batista Pavão, Edmundo Martins, Nestor Ferreira Lima, Gervásio Pimentel, and Cleto Santos decided to found a football club, because they were not allowed to play in the existing ones.
On June 21, 1913, at Ilha dos Amores, in Parque Moscoso neighborhood, in Vitória, they founded the club. The club was named Juventude e Vigor, and the official colors were green and yellow.
