Clube Atlético Mineiro (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈklubi aˈtlɛʧi̥ku miˈnejɾu]), are a Brazilian football club based in Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, the oldest in the city. Founded in 1908, they play in the Campeonato Mineiro and Campeonato Brasileiro Série A or Brasileirão. The club's traditional kit colors are black and white vertical striped shirts, with black shorts, accompanied by black and white socks. Their traditional crest is of a black and white escutcheon with the letters "CAM" on top.
The club has won 46 official trophies: the first unified league in Brazil, Brasileirão (in 1971), besides having twice been crowned as the Champion of Champions in Brazil (in 1937 and 1978). In Minas Gerais, their rival is Cruzeiro. The Galo (Rooster), as the team is known by their fans, has won 41 State Championship trophies, more than any other team in the competition. The last was in May 2012, after going undefeated that year.
