History[edit]

Atlético Clube Juventus was founded on March 1, 1966, by Elias Mansour Simão Filho, José Aníbal Tinôco, father Antônio Aneri, Dinah Gadelha Dias, Valter Félix de Souza and Iolanda Souza e Silva.[1] The club is named after the Italian club, after a suggestion by the father Antônio Aneri, because at that time it was the most traditional football team in his home country.[1]
