Second republic and military government years[edit]

Invitation to the first game of the Lion

Sport Recife celebrated their 50th anniversary in 1955 by winning their 15th state title.

As a result of a dispute with the Federação Pernambucana de Futebol (FPF), Sport did not participate in the 1978 Campeonato Pernambucano.

National champions[edit]

Émerson Leão led the successful campaign in Sport 1987.

The 1987 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A resulted in Sport's first national title. After topping group B in both the 1st and 2nd rounds Sport beat Bangu 5-4 on aggregate in the semi-final, and then Guarani 3-2 in the final. They qualified for the 1988 Copa Libertadores, but failed to qualify for the next stages of the competition, finishing in 15th place overall.

Sport Club do Recife won the 1990 Série B. They drew 1-1 on aggregate with Atlético Paranaense in the final, but were awarded the title due to their better record across the season. Led by Givanildo Oliveira, Sport won the 1st Copa do Nordeste, beating hosts CRB-AL on penalties after a draw in normal time by 0–0.

Juninho, Leão revelation, who would later become an idol.

21st Century[edit]

In 2000, Sport won the Copa do Nordeste for the 2nd time, this time under the command of coach Celso Roth after a 2–2 draw against Vitória, again winning the title due to a superior record.

In 2006, after five years in Série B (the Brazilian second division), Sport Club do Recife finished second. Sport had the same number of points as state rivals Náutico, but a better goal difference, and were promoted to Série A.

Sport became the first club from Northeastern Brazil to win the Copa do Bras, beating Corinthians on away goals in the 2008 final. Sport contested its second Copa Libertadores, finishing top of a group containing LDU, Colo-Colo and Palmeiras. They were drawn against Palmeiras in the next round, but were defeated on penalties, after drawing 1-1 on aggregate. In the second half of 2009, Sport disputed the Brasileirão, but could not repeat the excellent 1st half, finishing the race in last place, being demoted to Série B.

After a poor first half, O Leão da Ilha returned to Série A in 2011. Over the season the club had three different managers - Helio dos Anjos, Mazola Júnior, and PC Gusmão. Sport inherited a spot in the 2013 Copa Sudamericana by regulation of CBF towards the remnants of the Copa do Brasil. As the club had not planned to dispute it, it was not too far in its 1st participation.
Leão were eliminated by Libertad of Paraguay with two losses in the 2nd phase, after eliminating Náutico.
The only success of Leão this season was the return to Serie A in 2014 and the approval of the Sport's Arena project.

In 2014 Sport won their third Copa do Nordeste, 40th Campeonato Pernambucano, and campaigned in the Brasileirão, finishing in 11th place and ensuring a place in the Copa Sudamericana.

The motto will very likely have to rise at a time that coincides with the onset of war cry, to cry because it is part of initiating the same.

Badge[edit]

The first coat of Sport had nothing to do with the current one. In one of the first statutes of the club he was well defined: About an anchor, and arm the date May 13, 1905, based on a pair of oars crossed with a mast containing descendants streamers and a croquette, a lifeguard, and in center a football between a cricket and stick a tennis racket, crossed and surmounted by the letters SCR, interlaced monogram and the body, writing Sport Club Recife. Soon, the badge number 1 represented the Sport all sports practiced by the club at the time, from cricket to spearfishing.
The coat was too complex, difficult to reproduce and not bore the colors.
Then, in 1919 then President Arnaldo Loyo faced a challenge to many at the time was considered madness: get Sport to Belém do Pará to play a series of five friendlies.
The club has achieved significant results since the time the Pará football was more developed than the Pernambuco. These were the results: Sport 3–3 Remo-Paysandu Combination (23/03), Sport 3–2 Paraense Team (27/03), Sport 0–1 Paysandu (01/04), Sport 2x1 Remo-Paysandu Combination (03/04) and Sport 0–1 Remo (06/04).
And the game of the day was April 3, 1919 which was in dispute a gorgeous French bronze called of the Lion of the North where the sculptures included a Greek archer accompanied by an imposing lion. To the surprise of Pará, the Sport wins Local combined 2–1 and get the trophy. Disappointment for opposing fans was such that a fan invaded the most daring ship where leaders Crimson-Black kept the piece, and damaged its tail with an iron pipe. This inspired the development of a new coat for the sport.
So the lion was adopted as the new symbol of the club because it represented all his boldness, courage and spirit of the winner scored since its founding. The art was responsible for the designer Armando Vieira dos Santos which was based on Scottish heraldry arms to prepare the shield.

But, as always pioneer and overcoming various difficulties, the sport was Bethlehem, not intimidated, and won the bronze trophy gorgeous Frenchman, who would later be the reason for creating the mascot, which today is the lion, as awarded twisted by the victorious Crimson-Black, as well as the creation of one of the nicknames of Sport: Lion of the North.

The lion symbolizes the fight and claw so characteristic of the Sport Club do Recife. Fight and claw not only seen within the lawns, but also across its equity structure, erected with great dignity, thanks to the sweat of hard work and dedication of several Rubro-Negros.

War cry[edit]

Source Cazá, Cazá

The first time the battle cry of Sport was hailed back to the Championship celebrations Pernambucano 1938, the year in which the Lion won another title. The Vasco da Gama has a war cry similar to the Sport, with subtle changes in some verses. But what is known is that there he began to be hailed by 1942, by which time the legendary Ademir Menezes, greatest player in the history of sport, football Pernambucano and center-one of the largest in the history of world football, began play there, with the cry of the Vasco players.
Despite more than six decades ago, Cazá, Cazá never lost its vitality and originality, became theme music for many composers and constituted one of the trademarks of Crimson-Black crowd wherever she goes. Currently, the battle cry is sung at the beginning of each game time in Ilha do Retiro, pulled by Rádio Ilha, besides the crowd during games.
