History edit
Founded on April 13, 1919, Ypiranga was one of the greatest forces in Rondônia sport, especially in football in its amateur phase, when it won 5 local tournaments. The club was founded some time after the emancipation of Porto Velho, until then part of the state of Amazonas.
The first president of the new club was the illustrious Dr. Joaquim Augusto Tanajura, who a year after its foundation began occupying a position that today is equivalent to that of mayor of Porto Velho.[1]
Graduation from football edit
The club officially graduated from the practice of football in 1987, having obtained five recognized titles from the Campeonato Rondoniense. Since then, only indoor sports and swimming have been maintained.[2][3]
Patrimony edit
In 2018, a new clubhouse was inaugurated, which had a "pool for adults, children's pool, semi-Olympic pool, tennis court, multi-sports court, sand volleyball court, official football field, walking track, playground, kiosks with barbecue, snack bar, as well as space for events". The management at the time planned the club's football return, something that ended up not materializing.[4]
