[edit] History

Criciúma Esporte Clube was founded in 1948, as Comerciário Esporte Clube. However the club folded due to a financial crisis in the 1960s. The club was founded again in 1976 by some of the original Comerciário Esporte Clube members. In 1978 the club was renamed to Criciúma Esporte Clube and it's current colors were adopted in 1984 (black and yellow). The club's greatest feat was the 1991 Brazilian Cup title which qualified Criciúma to the following year's Copa Libertadores.
