Olaria Atlético Clube (Olaria Athletic Club in English), usually abbreviated to Olaria, is a Brazilian football club established in 1915, since expanded into other sports. Mostly known for its Brazilian football team based in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in the neighbourhood of Olaria. The team competes in the Campeonato Carioca Série A2, the second tier of the Rio de Janeiro state football league.
The club name means brick factory, and is also the name of the club's neighborhood.
Olaria is one of the small clubs from Rio de Janeiro that have managed to remain active in the shade of the four big ones (Botafogo, Flamengo, Fluminense and Vasco da Gama).
History
On July 1, 1915,[1] the club was founded as Japonês Futebol Clube (Japanese Football Club, in English). The club was later that year renamed to Olaria Atlético Clube, by Calorino Martins Arantes, who was a club director, to attract more supporters.[2]
In 1974, Olaria competed in the Série A, finishing in the 28th position.[3]
In 1981, Olaria won the Série C, called Taça de Bronze (Bronze Cup). In the final, the club beat Santo Amaro of Pernambuco state.[4] In 1983, the club won the Campeonato Carioca Second Division, being promoted to the following year's first division.[5]
In 1999, an enterprise called Sport News assumed the club's football section for a short time period.[1]
In 2000, Olaria was in the White Module (which was the equivalent of a third level) of that season's Série A, named Copa João Havelange. The club was eliminated in the first stage.[6] In 2003, the club competed again in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. Olaria was eliminated in the third stage by fellow Rio de Janeiro state club Cabofriense.[7]

Teu esforço e tua glória,
Estão crescendo a cada dia,

Tua camisa azul e branco tem um "quê" de simpatia.
Realizando sonhos mil, Tu serás um pioneiro dos esportes no Brasil

The club of the sky blue belt, You come from the Zona Norte
