The Rise of Chapecoense

Chapecoense was founded in 1973 in the small city of Chapecó, in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. The club spent its early years playing in the lower divisions of Brazilian football. In 2009, Chapecoense won promotion to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, the second tier of Brazilian football. The club then won promotion to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the top tier of Brazilian football, in 2014.

Chapecoense's rise to the top of Brazilian football was a remarkable story. The club had a small budget and a relatively unknown squad. However, the team played with heart and determination, and they quickly became a fan favorite. In 2016, Chapecoense reached the final of the Copa Sudamericana, the second-most prestigious club competition in South America. The club's success was a source of great pride for the city of Chapecó and for the entire state of Santa Catarina.

The Aftermath of the Crash
