Founded on June 2, 1914, Ceará is one of the most traditionally successful clubs{{Citation needed|date=May 2020}} in the Northeast region of [[Brazil]] alongside [[Esporte Clube Bahia|Bahia]], [[Santa Cruz Futebol Clube|Santa Cruz]], [[Sport Club do Recife|Sport]], [[Clube Náutico Capibaribe|Náutico]], [[Esporte Clube Vitória|Vitória]] and their city rivals [[Fortaleza Esporte Clube|Fortaleza]].

Ceará is the most popular team in the state, proven in several research and communication vehicles.  It also has an advantage in direct confrontations, with 203 wins, 211 draws and just 184 victories over its rival.  It is the pioneering and most traditional team in its state and one of the largest in its region.

==History==
On June 2, 1914, the club was founded as Rio Branco Football Club by Luiz Esteves Junior and Pedro Freire. Later, seventeen members joined the club. As Rio Branco Football Club, the team colors were white and [[Lilac (color)|lilac]]. In 1915, on their first birthday, the club changed its name to Ceará Sporting Club, and later won their first title in 1922. 

In 1941, Ceará won the [[Campeonato Cearense]], the same year of the inauguration of [[Estádio Presidente Vargas (Ceará)|Estadio Presidente Vargas]]. From 1961 to 1963, the club was three times consecutive state champion. In 1969, Ceará won the [[Copa Norte-Nordeste|Northeast Cup]]. In 1964, Ceara finished third in Serie A, their best campaign in the top flight to date. 

In 1970 the club ended a seven-year state championship title drought. In 1971, Ceará was the last placed team in [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A 1971|Campeonato Brasileiro Série A]] first edition. From 1975 to 1978, the club was state champion four times in a row. 

In 1985, Ceará finished seventh in the league, their second best ever position In 1994, the club finished as [[Copa do Brasil|Brazilian Cup]] runners-up, beaten by [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|Grêmio]] in the final. In 1995, Ceará participated in the [[Copa CONMEBOL]], the club's first international championship, becoming the only club of [[Ceará|Ceará State]] to play an international tournament. In 1996, the team administrator was [[Forró]] bands businessman Emanuel Gurgel. The team changed its home shirt color to all black. Because of this, the team was nicknamed "Urubu do Nordeste" (Northeast Vulture). From 1996 to 1999, the club was state champion four times in a row .

In 2005, Ceará reached the [[2005 Copa do Brasil|Copa do Brasil]] semifinals, where the club was defeated by [[Fluminense FC|Fluminense]].

In 2010, after a 17-year absence, Ceará was promoted back to the [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Brazilian League]], after finishing third in the [[2009 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B]]. In their first campaign back, Ceara had a great start, unbeaten for eight matches and kicking off their campaign with a win against champions [[Fluminense FC|Fluminense]]. However, their form began to drop with a run of only one victory in twelve matches, including a heavy 5–0 loss to [[Avaí FC|Avaí]]. Ceara eventually finished in 12th position, achieving a place in the [[2011 Copa Sudamericana|Copa Sudamericana]]. 

In the 2011 Copa Sudamericana, they were eliminated by Sao Paulo in the first round, despite having won the first leg. Later that year, Ceará reached the [[2011 Copa do Brasil|Copa do Brasil]] semi-finals. ''Vozao'' ended [[Ronaldinho]]'s [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]]'s unbeaten streak in the quarter-finals with a victory in the [[Engenhao]], then drew the home game, eliminating the Rio de Janeiro team in a notorious upset. Ceará, however, was defeated by [[Coritiba Foot Ball Club|Coritiba]] in the semi-finals. Also that year, they won their first Campeonato Cearense in five years, paving the way for four consecutive state titles from 2011 to 2014. However, the club was relegated from the Serie A. After having begun the season poorly, a run of four wins in seven matches seemed to steer the club to safety in the ninth position after a win against [[Club Athletico Paranaense|Athletico Paranaense]], but then a spell with only one win in thirteen matches, including four successive defeats brought them into the relegation zone, and their relegation was confirmed with a loss to [[EC Bahia|Bahia]].  

In February 2014, the Cidade Vozao – Luis Campos Training center was inaugurated. This is where the club houses its youth teams and where the first-team trains.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=22 February 2014 |title=Com grande festa, “Cidade Vozão – CT Luis Campos” será inaugurada hoje |url=https://www.cearasc.com/noticia/grande-festa-cidade-vozao-ct-luis-campos-22-02 |access-date=2023-11-28 |website=CearaSC.com |language=pt-br}}</ref> 

In 2015, Ceara won their first [[2015 Copa do Nordeste|Copa do Nordeste]], eliminating [[EC Vitoria|Vitoria]] on away goals before defeating [[EC Bahia|Bahia]] over two legs. However, the team struggled in [[2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B|Série B]], only finishing two points above the relegation zone. In 2018, they achieved promotion and finished 15th in the league that season. In [[2020 Copa do Nordeste|2020]], the club won their second Copa do Nordeste, finished eleventh in [[2020 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Serie A]], and gained qualification to the Copa Sudamericana, their first in a decade. 

In 2021, they finished eleventh again, and qualified for the [[2022 Copa Sudamericana]], where they had a great campaign, winning all matches in the group stage which included powerhouse [[Independiente de Avellaneda]], then beating [[The Strongest]] 5–1 on aggregate before losing to finalists [[São Paulo FC|São Paulo]] on penalties in the quarter-finals. However, the Copa Sudamericana campaign put stress on the squad and they were not able to keep up with the pace of the league, causing relegation after a seventeenth-placed finish.

==Rivals==
Ceará's greatest rival is [[Fortaleza Esporte Clube|Fortaleza]], and the match between the two clubs is known as [[:pt:Clássico-Rei|Clássico Rei]]. It has been played 603 times, with Ceará winning 213 times, Fortaleza winning 187 times and 203 draws. Ceará's second biggest rival is [[Ferroviário Atlético Clube (CE)|Ferroviário]], the third biggest club of Fortaleza city, and the match is known as [[:pt:Clássico_da_Paz_(Fortaleza)|Clássico da Paz]].  This derby has been played 302 times, with 140 wins for Ceará, 71 wins for Ferroviário and 91 draws.

==Mascot==
The team's mascot, an old man known as "Vovô" ("Grandpa") was designed by cartoonist Mino, a native of Ceará, for the "Ceará: Paixão Total" Project ("Ceará: Full Passion" Project).

The "grandpa" figure appeared in late 1919, when Meton de Alencar Pinto, former president of Ceará SC, coached young players of América Football Club, a small club from the city, in the Porangabussu training center. Meton, who used to call these young players as his "grandsons", asked them to "go easy on grandpa". Afterwards, the nickname started to apply to the team of Ceará as well, helped by the seniority of the club; Ceará Sporting Club was the first football team founded in the state.

==Supporters==
Ceara is the  best supported club in the state, and third in the Northeast, behind Bahia and Sport, according to a recent study by [[GloboEsporte.com]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-11-20 |title=Flamengo tem maior torcida do estado do CE; Ceará é 2º, Fortaleza vem em 3º, diz pesquisa exclusiva |url=https://ge.globo.com/ce/futebol/noticia/flamengo-tem-maior-torcida-do-estado-do-ce-ceara-e-2o-fortaleza-vem-em-3o-diz-pesquisa-exclusiva.ghtml |access-date=2023-11-12 |website=ge |language=pt-br}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2023-11-12 |title=Ceará mantém a maior torcida entre clubes do estado, segundo ranking nacional |url=https://onefootball.com/pt-br/noticias/ceara-mantem-a-maior-torcida-entre-clubes-do-estado-segundo-ranking-nacional-34743680 |access-date=2023-11-12 |website=OneFootball |language=pt-br}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=September 4, 2023 |title=Quais são as maiores torcidas de futebol no Brasil? |url=https://olympics.com/pt/noticias/maiores-torcidas-futebol-brasil |website=Olympics.com}}</ref> ''Vozao'' has approximately 1.6 million supporters.<ref name=":0" />

==Logo evolution==
[[File:Ceara logo history.png]]

The first logo was the club's first as Ceará Sporting Club, and was used from 1915 to 1954.

The second logo was used from 1955 to 1969 and was inspired by the [[Santos FC|Santos]] logo.

The third logo was used from 1970 to 2003, which removed the ball found in the top left corner of the previous logo, and added a white outline. 

The fourth logo is the current team logo, and was adopted in 2003. The logo is a restyled version of the previous logo created by Adman Orlando Mota. This logo introduced the white stars and the foundation date.
