Esporte Clube Siderúrgica, commonly known as Siderúrgica, is a Brazilian football club based in Sabará, Minas Gerais state. They competed in the Taça Brasil once and won the Campeonato Mineiro twice.

History

The club was founded on May 31, 1930.[1] Siderúrgica won the Campeonato Mineiro in 1937, and in 1964.[2] They competed in the Taça Brasil in 1965, when they finished the tournament in seventh place.

In 1967 the Belgo-Mineira Ironworks Company ceased its financial support to the club[1] and so Siderúrgica ceased its own Professional Football department and became an amateur club again.

The club played professional tournaments in 1992, 1997 and 2007, in the Segunda Divisão of Campeonato Mineiro of these three years, unsuccessfully trying to return to higher levels of the State championship. In 2011, Siderúrgica will play the Segunda Divisão again.[3]

Achievements

Stadium

Esporte Clube Siderúrgica plays their home games at Estádio Praia do Ó.[4] The stadium had a maximum capacity of 4,000 people.[4] In 2011, due to problems with their stadium, Siderúrgica played in Estádio Israel Pinheiro,[5] in Itabira.
