Americano Futebol Clube, or Americano as they are usually called, is a Brazilian football team from Campos dos Goytacazes in Rio de Janeiro, founded on June 1, 1914.

The club was founded on June 1, 1914[1] by the Uruguayan Bertoni brothers, after watching a game between America and a Campos combined team, won by 3-1 by the former.

In 2004, Americano reached the final four of the Brazilian Série C, but finished in the third position, after União Barbarense and Gama, and was not promoted to the Série B. Americano's stadium is Estádio Godofredo Cruz,[1] with a maximum capacity of 25,000 people.

The nine red stars on Americano's logo represent the nine consecutive Campeonato da Cidade de Campos titles.

The club's official anthem was composed by Pereira Júnior.
