Treze Futebol Clube

Treze Futebol Clube is a Brazilian football team from Campina Grande in Paraíba, founded on 7 September 1925.

There is also a rivalry between Treze and Botafogo (PB), a football club from João Pessoa (Paraíba's capital), due to some historical issues between the two cities.

[3] According to research institutes such as Datavox and GPP, Treze is the local club with the largest number of fans in Paraíba.

Treze's first official match was played on 1 May 1926, at Campo dos Currais, which is now the site of a public market.

[5] In the year 1968, when Treze faced the Argentina U-20 national team and lost 3–2, shortly after the match on 8 February 1968, at Presidente Vargas Stadium, Garrincha donned the Treze Futebol Clube jersey in a friendly against the Romania national team, which was qualified for the 1970 World Cup.

In 1999, Treze were the first Paraíba State team to progress beyond the first stage of the Copa do Brasil, beating Santa Cruz.
