Uni�o S�o Jo�o Esporte Clube, or simply Uni�o S�o Jo�o is a Brazilian football club based in Araras, S�o Paulo. The team competes in Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divis�o, the fourth tier of the S�o Paulo state football league.

History

[edit]

On January 14, 1981,[1] the club was founded by Herm�nio Ometto, who was the owner of Usina S�o Jo�o (meaning Saint John's Mill). The club was founded in the same place of Usina S�o Jo�o, after it closed [2]

In 1987, Uni�o S�o Jo�o won the Campeonato Paulista Special Division, beating S�o Jos� in the final. The club was promoted to the following year's first level.[3]

In 1988, the club won its first national championship. Uni�o S�o Jo�o won the Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie C, beating Esportivo Passense of Minas Gerais in the final. The club was promoted to the following year's second division.[4]

In 1989, Uni�o S�o Jo�o disputed the Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie B for the first time, finishing in the 29th position.[5] In the same year, the club played four friendly matches in Japan. The club won two matches and drew the other two.[6]

The 1993 Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie A was expanded to 32 clubs, so, Uni�o S�o Jo�o was promoted to dispute the competition. The club finished in its all-time best position in that competition, finishing in the 12th position.[7]

In 1994, the club became an enterprise.[2] The club finished in the Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie A's 21st position.[8]

In 1995, Uni�o S�o Jo�o finished in the Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie A's 24th position, which was the last position, being relegated to the following year's S�rie B.[9]

In 1996, the club won its second national championship, the Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie B. In the competition's final four, Uni�o S�o Jo�o finished ahead of Am�rica de Natal, N�utico and Londrina. The club was promoted to the following year's S�rie A.[10]

In 1997, Uni�o S�o Jo�o disputed the Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie A again, but finished in the 26th place (which was the competition's last position) and was relegated to the following year's S�rie B [11]

In 2002, the club was Campeonato Paulista runner-up. The club finished only behind Ituano. The competition was not disputed by the big clubs of S�o Paulo state.[12]

In 2003, Uni�o S�o Jo�o disputed the Campeonato Brasileiro S�rie B, finishing in the 24th position, which was the competition's last position, being relegated to the following year's S�rie C.[13]

In 2005, the club was relegated to the second division of the Paulista championship; after spending seven seasons in that division, many times narrowly missing out on promotion back to the first level, it was relegated to the third level in 2012, and in the following year, to the fourth. After failing to return to the third level in 2014, Uni�o S�o Jo�o, under financial difficulties, shut down its football department temporarily,[14] making its return to professional football eight years later.
