Sao Paulo Futebol Clube is a football club based in Sao Paulo,Brasil with one of the most reputable histories and biggest base of fans in the country.It is also Brasil's most victorious squad in international competitions,winning three Club World Cups and various South American championships in its storied history,along with its six national championships.In recent years they have taken their place as one of the dominant clubs in Brasilian football,winning the Brasileirao,the top flight championship in Brasil,for three years consecutively from 2006-2008,most notably in 2008,when the club found itself far behind then leader Gremio midway through the season only to charge back and overcome an eleven point deficit in order to become champions.This inspired the return of an old nickname for the club,"Jason",as,like horror icon Jason Voorhees,they seemingly could never be killed and always returned to the grief of their adversaries.They play in the Estadio do Morumbi.Salve o tricolor paulista!
