Ypiranga Futebol Clube, commonly referred to as Ypiranga de Erechim or Ypiranga, is a Brazilian professional club based in Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul founded on 18 August 1924. It competes in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, the third tier of Brazilian football, as well as in the Campeonato Gaúcho, the top flight of the Rio Grande do Sul state football league. The origins of Ypiranga Futebol Clube go back to the rivalry with the Ítalo-Brasileiro, then the only club in the city of Erechim. In 1924, a match between the Ítalo-Brasileiro and Douradense, team from Linha Dourado, was being played in the field where today is located the Júlio de Castilhos square, in the center of Erechim. A group of people who had recently arrived in town showed support for Douradense - a fact that caused a general confusion at the end of the match. The next day, gathered in the ballroom of the Hotel Central on Avenida Maurício Cardoso, the group of soccer enthusiasts decided to create a new club. Their patriotic motivation gave the new association the colors green and yellow, as well as a name that referred to Brazil's independence: on 18 August 1924, Ypiranga Futebol Clube was born. Among the founders, names like Arthur Incerti, Favorino Pinto, Ercilia Di Francesco Amorim, Fioravante Tagliari, Florêncio Antunes de Oliveira, Francisco de Oliveira Dias, Heraclides Franco, Jacinto Godoy, João Antonio Sírtoli, João Magnabosco, João Reis Solon, João Vitorino dos Reis are registered, José Maria de Amorim, Lizandro Araújo, Nilo Amorim, Otto Feldmann, Paulo Damasceno Ferreira, Sigismundo Pllak, Sebastião César, Silvestre Péricles Monteiro - later on the author of the club's anthem -, Simão Vasconcelos de Souza, Themistocles Ochoa, Theodoro Tedesco, and Vitório Alovise.
