Figueirense Futebol Clube, commonly referred to as Figueirense, is a Brazilian professional club based in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina founded on 12 June 1921. It competes in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, the third tier of Brazilian football, as well as in the Campeonato Catarinense, the top flight of the Santa Catarina state football league.

History

The club was founded as Figueirense Football Club on 12 June 1921. The club is named Figueirense after the neighborhood where it is located, in Centro neighborhood.^[1] Figueirense means "from Figueira". Figueirense was one of the founders of the defunct Liga Catharinense de Desportos Terrestres, organized on 12 April 1923. In 1932 the team won their first state championship. From 1935 to 1937 Figueirense was three times in a row Catarinense champion. In 1939, Figueirense won again the state championship, that was end of the Golden Decade of the club.

1972 was the end of the 30-year state championship titleless period. In 1973, Figueirense was the first team of Santa Catarina state in Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. In 1974 the team won Catarinense again.

In 1994 the 17-year state championship titleless period ended. In 1995, Figeirense was Torneio Mercosul champion (not to be confused with Copa Mercosur) at Santa Catarina. It was the club's first (and only) international title.

In 2001 the club was Campeonato Brasileiro Second Division runner-up, and was promoted to the following year's First Division. From 2002 to 2004, Figueirense was three times in a row Campeonato Catarinense champion. In 2008, Figueirense won the Copa São Paulo de Juniores for the first time after beating Rio Branco-SP 2–0 in the final. In the 2008 edition of Serie A, Figueirense finished in 17th place, being relegated to Serie B the following year.

In 2002 Rivaldo's and César Sampaio's company, called CSR Esporte & Marketing, and Figueirense signed a partnership. The company was responsible for the administration of the professional football of Figueirense. The partnership ended in 2004.

Some famous players who have played for Figueirense in the last decade are Edmundo, Loco Abreu, André Santos, Roberto Firmino, Filipe Luís, Cleiton Xavier, Felipe Santana and Michel Bastos.

In 2026 Figueirense had a dismal campaign in Campeonato Catarinense, with only 4 wins across the 2 phases of the competition. The club was relegated for the second time in its history to Campeonato Catarinense Série B in the sixth and last round of the relegation quadrangular, after losing to Carlos Renaux 4–2 on Estádio Orlando Scarpelli, even entering the module with an extra point for being the best fifth-placed team in the championship.^[2]
