===The beginning and professionalism at the club===
[[File:Grêmio 1903.jpg|thumb|right|250px|One of the first Grêmio squads, December 1903]]

On 7 September 1903, Brazil's oldest football team, [[Sport Club Rio Grande]], played an exhibition match in [[Porto Alegre]]. An entrepreneur from [[Sorocaba]], São Paulo, named Cândido Dias was besotted with the sport and he went to watch the match. During the match, the ball deflated. As the only owner of a football in Porto Alegre, he lent his ball to the players and the match resumed. After the match, he talked to the local players about how to start a football club. On 15 September 1903, 32 people, including Cândido Dias, met at Salão Grau, a local restaurant and founded "Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense". Most of the founding members were part of the city's [[German Brazilians|German]] community.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rs.gov.br/conteudo/199706/alemanha-e-futebol-uma-relacao-antiga-com-porto-alegre-e-o-rs |title=Alemanha e futebol: uma relação antiga com Porto Alegre e o RS - Portal do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul |website=www.rs.gov.br |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161122223125/http://www.rs.gov.br/conteudo/199706/alemanha-e-futebol-uma-relacao-antiga-com-porto-alegre-e-o-rs |archive-date=2016-11-22}}</ref> Carlos Luiz Bohrer was elected as first president.<ref name="gremio.net">{{cite web|url=http://www.gremio.net/page/view.aspx?i=historia&language=0|title=Portal Oficial do Grêmio FootBall Porto Alegrense&nbsp;– História|work=Portal Oficial do Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|access-date=21 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203100811/http://gremio.net/page/view.aspx?i=historia&language=0|archive-date=3 February 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref>
The club's first match took place on 6 March 1904, against [[Fuss Ball Porto Alegre]], the first of two matches played that day. Grêmio won the first match 1–0. Unfortunately, the name of the player who scored the club's first goal is lost to history. The trophy Grêmio won that day, the Wanderpreis, is still displayed at the club's museum. Within 5 months the club had inaugurated the Baixada, its first home.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Coleta e armazenamento de dados |url=https://9nbet.com.br/politica-de-privacidade/}}</ref>

On 18 July 1909, Grêmio beat [[Sport Club Internacional|Internacional]] 10–0 on the latter's debut game. Grêmio's goalkeeper Kallfelz reportedly left the field to chat with fans during the match. Even now this victory is remembered with pride by Gremistas (Grêmio supporters). The match was the starting point for a rivalry that rages on to this day. Grêmio was one of the founding members of the Porto Alegre football league in 1910, and in 1911 won the league for the first time. On 25 August 1912, in a city league match, Grêmio beat Sport Clube Nacional of Porto Alegre 23–0. Sisson scored 14 goals in the match to record Grêmio's biggest ever win. In 1918, Grêmio became a founding member of the  ''Fundação Rio-Grandense de Desportes'' (later known as [[Federação Gaúcha de Futebol]]), a federation that organized the first state championships in [[Rio Grande do Sul]]. The first championship was scheduled for 1918, but the Spanish flu epidemic forced the event to be postponed until 1919. In 1921, a year after the arrival of legendary goalkeeper ''Eurico Lara'', Grêmio won its first state championship.
On 7 July 1911, Grêmio beat [[Uruguay]]'s national team 2–1. In 1931, Grêmio became one of the first teams in Brazil to play matches at night after installing floodlights at Estádio Baixada. On 19 May 1935, Grêmio became the first team from Rio Grande do Sul to beat a team from the state of São Paulo (considered the strongest Brazilian league at the time) by defeating [[Santos FC|Santos]] 3–2. Grêmio was also the first club outside [[Rio de Janeiro]] state to play at the [[Estádio do Maracanã|Maracanã]] Stadium, defeating [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]] 3–1 in 1950.
[[File:Time_do_Grêmio.tif|thumb|right|250px|Grêmio squad in 1950. That year, Grêmio played at the [[Estádio do Maracanã|Maracanã]] Stadium and defeated [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]] by 3–1 and became the first club outside [[Rio de Janeiro]] state to win in that stadium]]
During this period, Grêmio started to earn a reputation abroad. In 1932 it played its first international match in [[Rivera]] (Uruguay). In 1949, the match against Uruguay's [[Club Nacional de Football|Nacional]] ended in a 3–1 win for Grêmio and the players received a hero's welcome on their return to Porto Alegre. In that same year, Grêmio played for the first time in Central America. Between 1953 and 1954, Grêmio travelled to Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia, a tour dubbed "the conquest of the Americas". On 25 February 1959, Grêmio defeated [[Boca Juniors]] 4–1 in Buenos Aires, becoming the first foreign team to beat Boca at [[Estadio Alberto J. Armando|La Bombonera]].
In 1961, Grêmio went on its first European tour playing 24 games in 11 countries: France, Romania, Belgium, Greece, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Denmark, Estonia and Russia. The ''Gremistas'' (Grêmio fans) were growing in number. 1946 saw the first appearance of the club's motto  ''"com o Grêmio onde o Grêmio estiver"'' ("with Grêmio wherever Grêmio may be"), which was later written into Grêmio's official anthem. An anthem penned by [[Lupicinio Rodrigues]], a [[samba-cancao]] composer who became one of the most famous and revered Grêmio fans. The anthem celebrates the Gremistas reputation for attending all Grêmio matches, regardless of the difficulties and obstacles they might have to overcome to see their club. In the late 1950s, Grêmio joined the [[Taça Brasil]], as the Brazilian league was known at the time. The team reached the Taça Brasil semi-finals in 1959, 1963 and 1967. In 1968, the team won its first international title in a friendly cup with teams from Brazil and [[Uruguay]]. In 1954, Grêmio inaugurated what was at the time the biggest private stadium in Brazil, the [[Estádio Olímpico Monumental|Olímpico]] Stadium. In 1971, the [[Taça Brasil]] championship was replaced by the [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Campeonato Brasileiro]] with the first goal ever scored in the Campeonato Brasileiro coming from Grêmio's [[Néstor Scotta]], an [[Argentine]], in a match against [[São Paulo FC|São Paulo]] at [[Estádio do Morumbi]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gremio.net/page/view.aspx?i=id_767&language=0|title=Portal Oficial do Grêmio FootBall Porto Alegrense&nbsp;– Curiosidades|work=Portal Oficial do Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|access-date=21 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721031657/http://www.gremio.net/page/view.aspx?i=id_767&language=0|archive-date=21 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> Grêmio maintained a series of respectable results in Campeonato Brasileiro, usually achieving a top half finish.

Grêmio's first dominant period in South American football began in the early 1980s. Propelled by the completion of their new stadium, the [[Estádio Olímpico Monumental|Olímpico Monumental]].
Grêmio won its first Campeonato Brasileiro on 3 May 1981, after defeating [[São Paulo FC|São Paulo]] at the [[Estádio do Morumbi|Morumbi Stadium]] in São Paulo. The scores in the two-leg final were 2–1 at Olímpico and 1–0 for Grêmio at Morumbi. The winning goal was scored by striker Baltazar.

1983 was the most successful year in Grêmio's history. First, Grêmio won the South-American [[Copa Libertadores]], after a consistent yet eventful campaign. One of the matches of the semi-final, the 3–3 draw against [[Estudiantes de La Plata|Estudiantes]] at [[Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium]], became legendary for its belligerence on and off the pitch and is dubbed the "Batalha de La Plata" ("Battle of La Plata").<ref>[https://www.0221.com.ar/nota/2018-6-5-8-56-0-estudiantes-vs-gremio-la-batalla-epica-de-1983-en-video-y-con-relato-de-victor-hugo Estudiantes vs. Gremio: la batalla épica de 1983] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210926183329/https://www.0221.com.ar/nota/2018-6-5-8-56-0-estudiantes-vs-gremio-la-batalla-epica-de-1983-en-video-y-con-relato-de-victor-hugo |date=26 September 2021 }} on 0221.com</ref><ref>[https://tn.com.ar/deportes/hazanas/30-anos-de-una-de-las-hazanas-mas-notables-de-estudiantes_398537 30 años de una de las hazañas más notables de Estudiantes] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130712213558/http://tn.com.ar/deportes/hazanas/30-anos-de-una-de-las-hazanas-mas-notables-de-estudiantes_398537 |date=12 July 2013 }} on TN, 8 July 2013</ref> In the finals, Grêmio beat the 1982 South America and World champions [[Peñarol]] from Uruguay, with a 1–1 draw in [[Montevideo]] and a 2–1 win in Porto Alegre.

Soon after winning the Intercontinental Cup, Grêmio beat [[Club América|America]] of Mexico in Los Angeles, and won the [[Copa Interamericana#Los Angeles Cup|Los Angeles Cup]].
In 1989, Grêmio won the first [[Copa do Brasil]], a Brazilian knockout cup featuring football teams from all around the country. After humiliating Flamengo with a 6–1 win in the second leg of the semi-finals, Grêmio defeated [[Sport Club do Recife|Sport Recife]] in the final, with a 0–0 draw in Recife and a 2–1 win in Porto Alegre.
In 1991, after a poor season, Grêmio was relegated for the first time to the [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série B|Brazilian Second Division]]<ref name="r1993">{{cite web|url=http://trivela.uol.com.br/gremio-foi-3o-lugar-em-1990-ao-rebaixamento-em-1991-e-e-dificil-explicar-por-que/|title=Grêmio foi do 3º lugar em 1990 ao rebaixamento em 1991, e é difícil explicar por que|language=pt|date=5 December 2014|author=Leonardo de Escudeiro|publisher=Terra|access-date=24 February 2017|archive-date=24 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170224134222/http://trivela.uol.com.br/gremio-foi-3o-lugar-em-1990-ao-rebaixamento-em-1991-e-e-dificil-explicar-por-que/|url-status=live}}</ref> but gained immediate promotion back to the Campeonato Brasileiro's elite the following season (1993). After this return to form, 1994 saw Grêmio win its second Copa do Brasil, defeating [[Ceará Sporting Club|Ceará]] in the two-leg final (0–0 and 1–0), the solitary goal scored by striker Nildo. This win kickstarted the club's [[Projeto Tóquio|Tokyo Project]].
On 11 December 1994, due a bloated and extensive schedule, Grêmio had to play three matches in a single day at the [[Olímpico Monumental]] during the [[1994 Campeonato Gaúcho]]. These matches began at 2&nbsp;p.m., 4&nbsp;p.m., and 8&nbsp;p.m. against [[Clube Esportivo Aimoré|Aimoré]], [[Futebol Clube Santa Cruz|Santa Cruz]], and [[Brasil de Pelotas]] respectively. They drew the first match and won the other two, using a total of 34 different players from the first team, reserves and [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense (youth)|academy]]. The matches had a small public attendance of 758 fans — 247 paying.

===Luiz Felipe Scolari and the Libertadores 1995===
[[File:Luiz Felipe Scolari.jpeg|thumb|right|180px|[[Luiz Felipe Scolari]] won the [[1995 Copa Libertadores]], the [[1996 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|1996 Campeonato Brasileiro]] and other important competitions]]
[[File:GRENAL_Monumental_(8247052105).jpg|thumb|left|170px|[[Mário Jardel]] and [[Paulo Nunes]] lead Grêmio to reach practically all trophies of the 1990s. Together they won the [[1995 Copa Libertadores]] and the [[1996 Recopa Sudamericana]]]]
In May 1995, under head coach [[Luiz Felipe Scolari]], Grêmio were runners-up in the [[Copa do Brasil]], losing the final match to [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista|Corinthians]] 0–1 at Olímpico Monumental. In August, a few days after beating arch-rivals Internacional for the state title with a reserve squad, the club won the Copa Libertadores for the second time. Defeating [[Atlético Nacional]] of Colombia 3–1 in Porto Alegre and drawing 1–1 in [[Medellín]]. The tournament was marked by fierce matches against [[Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras|Palmeiras]] in the quarter-finals. Palmeiras had perhaps the best squad on the competition, with players such as [[Rivaldo]], [[Cafu]], [[Edmundo]], [[César Sampaio]], [[Antônio Carlos Zago|Antônio Carlos]], [[Roberto Carlos (footballer)|Roberto Carlos]] and [[Alejandro Mancuso|Mancuso]]. They were soundly beaten by Grêmio in the 1st leg in an epic 5–0 match with a hat-trick from [[Mário Jardel]]. Palmeiras beat Grêmio 5–1 in the return leg, with Jardel's lone strike proving enough to see Grêmio through to the Semi-finals.
This qualified the club to the [[1995 Intercontinental Cup]] where Grêmio pushed a talented [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] (featuring [[Patrick Kluivert]], [[Marc Overmars|Overmars]], [[Edwin van der Sar|Van Der Sar]] and [[Nwankwo Kanu|Kanu]]) into extra time and penalties despite being a player down. Early 1996 saw Grêmio win the [[Recopa Sudamericana]], beating Argentina's [[Club Atlético Independiente|Independiente]] 4–1.
On 15 December 1996, Grêmio won its second [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Campeonato Brasileiro]], defeating [[Associação Portuguesa de Desportos|Portuguesa]] in the final. Portuguesa won the first match at home 2–0, and therefore Grêmio was forced to win the final match at Porto Alegre by the same score or more. Grêmio got to 2–0, with midfielder Ailton scoring the second goal a few minutes before the final whistle. Grêmio won the title due to their higher finish in the league.
In 1997, Grêmio won their third [[Copa do Brasil]] title. In the finals against [[Romário]]'s [[Clube de Regatas Flamengo|Flamengo]], Grêmio won on away goals after a 0–0 draw in Porto Alegre and a 2–2 draw in Rio de Janeiro. Four years later, in 2001, Grêmio won their fourth Copa do Brasil, defeating [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista|Corinthians]]. The first leg of the final, in Porto Alegre, finished with the score of 2–2. The second game in São Paulo ended with a 3–1 Grêmio victory, in a match which is regarded as one of the finest in Grêmio's history.

On 26 November 2005, at [[Estádio dos Aflitos]], [[Recife]] against [[Clube Náutico Capibaribe|Náutico]], Grêmio had four players sent off and two penalty given kicks against them in a tumultuous match that has become known as "[[Batalha dos Aflitos (2005)|The Battle of the Aflitos]]" ("A Batalha dos Aflitos", "Aflitos" being the name of Náutico's home field).
[[Bruno Carvalho (footballer, born 1974)|Bruno Carvalho]] bounced the first penalty bounced off the post in the first half when Grêmio still had 11 players on the field; the second was saved by goalkeeper Galatto when had been reduced to 7 men.

A goal that sealed the Série B championship and promotion to the Série A.
On 9 April 2006, at [[Estádio Beira-Rio]], Grêmio won the state championship against [[Sport Club Internacional|Internacional]], preventing them from winning a fifth title in a row. Playing away, Grêmio managed to obtain a 1–1 draw in the second leg of the final, enough to secure the title on away goals. Grêmio players said after the match that there were more than 50,000 Internacional fans in Beira Rio's Stadium and they could still hear the noise made by 6,000 Gremistas. In 2007, at [[Estádio Olímpico Monumental]], Grêmio won the [[Campeonato Gaúcho]] once again this time against [[Esporte Clube Juventude|Juventude]].
Also in 2007, Grêmio reached the final of the [[2007 Copa Libertadores]]. Throughout the campaign the team overcame away losses by putting in heroic home performances and earning the moniker of Imortal Tricolor. This also pumped up the fans who even after a heavy 3–0 away defeat to [[Boca Juniors]] formed huge lines to buy tickets for the final game in Porto Alegre. with some of the fans queuing for four days or more. Unfortunately fan fervor wasn't enough with [[Juan Román Riquelme|Riquelme's]] magnificent performance handing [[Boca Juniors]] a 2–0 win and the [[Copa Libertadores]] title.

In 2008, after the sudden firing of their head coach Vagner Mancini, the club hired [[Celso Roth]]. Within a month they had prematurely dropped out of both the domestic cup ([[Copa do Brasil]]) and their state championship ([[Campeonato Gaúcho]]). This led to the team going through a state of crisis and, soon after, major renovation. They were expected to finish in the bottom half of the Campeonato Brasileiro but managed to finish in second place. For many supporters, even that was considered a failure as in the first half of the championship, the team was in fine form and even considered the best in the country. At the halfway point of the season the team had a 10-point lead over second place that they would eventually surrender in the final games of the season.
2012 marked the last year of the club's former stadium, [[Estádio Olímpico Monumental|Olímpico Monumental]]. Fan expectations were high but were not matched by the team's performance. Grêmio did, however, qualify for the Libertadores the following year.
In 2014, the club once again qualified for the [[2014 Copa Libertadores|Copa Libertadores de América]] and signed [[Enderson Moreira]] as the new manager.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://esportes.terra.com.br/gremio/gremio-anuncia-enderson-moreira-como-novo-treinador-para-2014,7a571722e8cf2410VgnVCM10000098cceb0aRCRD.html|title=Grêmio anuncia Enderson Moreira como novo treinador para 2014|publisher=Terra Esportes|access-date=4 September 2014|archive-date=23 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140423142955/http://esportes.terra.com.br/gremio/gremio-anuncia-enderson-moreira-como-novo-treinador-para-2014,7a571722e8cf2410VgnVCM10000098cceb0aRCRD.html|url-status=live}}</ref> However, after a successful campaign in the group stage, Grêmio failed in the competition and were eliminated by [[San Lorenzo de Almagro|San Lorenzo]] in the [[2014 Copa Libertadores#Round of 16|Round of 16]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/libertadores/noticia/2014/05/gremio-perde-para-san-lorenzo-nos-penaltis-e-e-eliminado-nas-oitavas.html|title=Grêmio perde para San Lorenzo nos pênaltis e é eliminado nas oitavas|date=May 2014|publisher=Globo Esporte|access-date=4 September 2014|archive-date=4 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904194736/http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/libertadores/noticia/2014/05/gremio-perde-para-san-lorenzo-nos-penaltis-e-e-eliminado-nas-oitavas.html|url-status=live}}</ref> A few days before, the club was defeated 6–2 on aggregate by their biggest rival, the [[Sport Club Internacional|Internacional]], in the finals of the [[2014 Campeonato Gaúcho|Campeonato Gaúcho]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://zh.clicrbs.com.br/rs/esportes/gauchao/noticia/2014/04/inter-goleia-o-gremio-em-gre-nal-no-centenario-e-fatura-o-tetra-no-gauchao-4473692.html|title=Inter goleia o Grêmio em Gre-Nal no Centenário e fatura o tetra no Gauchão|work=Zero Hora|date=13 April 2014|access-date=4 September 2014|archive-date=4 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904233514/http://zh.clicrbs.com.br/rs/esportes/gauchao/noticia/2014/04/inter-goleia-o-gremio-em-gre-nal-no-centenario-e-fatura-o-tetra-no-gauchao-4473692.html|url-status=live}}</ref> With nothing more than a regular campaign at the beginning of the [[2014 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Série A]], club president Fábio Koff signed [[Luiz Felipe Scolari]] as the new coach of the team.

In 2015, former Grêmio player Roger Machado was hired as the new manager. A short lived but initially successful run, Machado's time with Grêmio saw them qualify for the 2016 Copa Libertadores with a finish in the Campeonato Brasileiro in 3rd place. Machado oversaw a famous victory over beat bitter rivals Internacional with a 5–0 drubbing in "[[Grenal]]" No. 407. Nonetheless, towards the end of the year, the team began to show a lack of organization, especially in its defensive system. As fan support dwindled, Roger announced his resignation after a 3–0 loss against Ponte Preta in September 2016. Renato Portaluppi replaced him and under his guidance a resurgent Grêmio became champions of the Copa do Brasil against Atlético Mineiro in a 4–2 aggregate score, making them the Brazilian club with the most titles in this tournament (5). After this historic feat, fans affectionately nicknamed Grêmio the "Rei de Copas" (King of Cups).
In 2017, Grêmio won their third Libertadores, after defeating [[Club Atlético Lanús]] 1–0 at [[Arena do Grêmio]], followed by a 2–1 victory in [[Estadio Ciudad de Lanús – Néstor Díaz Pérez|Estadio Ciudad de Lanús]]. Luan was named the player of the tournament, while goalkeeper [[Marcelo Grohe]] performed spectacularly with a heroic, almost impossible save in the semi-final match against [[Barcelona Sporting Club]]. They became the third Brazilian club to win a third Copa Libertadores, after [[São Paulo Futebol Clube|São Paulo]] and [[Santos FC|Santos]].
The club went on to represent [[CONMEBOL]] at the [[2017 FIFA Club World Cup]], held in the United Arab Emirates. Grêmio beat [[C.F. Pachuca|Pachuca]] 1–0 in a tight semi-final, the goal coming from Everton in extra-time. They were beaten 0–1 by [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] in the [[2017 FIFA Club World Cup Final|final]].

In 2021, Grêmio was elected the best club in South America of the decade, between the years 2011–2020, in a survey carried out by the [[International Federation of Football History & Statistics]] (IFFHS).

Portaluppi's replacement was [[Tiago Nunes]], with whom Grêmio qualified for the next phase of the [[Copa Sudamericana]] and won the Campeonato Gaúcho in the final played against Internacional.

==Symbols ==
===Stars===
According to the club, the gold star represents the victory in the World Club Championship; the silver represents the three South American competition victories; and the bronze one represents the National competitions.
There is also a gold star in Grêmio's flag that represents a player, [[Everaldo (footballer, born 1944)|Everaldo]], the sole Grêmio player in the [[1970 FIFA World Cup|1970 Brazilian World Cup winning team]].
===Flag===
The first club flag was unveiled by the club during the opening ceremony for the Baixada stadium. At that time, it had a horizontal stripe of blue, black and white, with a medallion on the left top corner.
The Brazilian Flag was the inspiration for the Tricolor's standard from 1918 to 1944.
=== Mascot ===
Grêmio's mascot is the [[Musketeer]]. The cartoonist Pompeo, drawing for defunct newspaper ''Folha da Tarde'' drew a musketeer, inspired by [[Alexandre Dumas|Alexandre Dumas's]] [[The Three Musketeers]], with the colors of Grêmio to represent the club in 1946. The aim was to use Dumas' musketeers as a symbol of the spirit of unity between players, management and fans, as well as being a symbol of bravery and determination. A banner with the slogan "With Grêmio wherever Grêmio is". ({{langx|pt|Com o Grêmio onde estiver o Grêmio}}) with an image of Pompeo's musketeer appeared in the same year at the ´[[Estádio da Baixada (Porto Alegre)|Estádio da Baixada]], as well as the club's internal [[newspaper]] adopted the name "O Mosqueteiro".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Feitosa |first=Luis |date=2020-05-26 |title=Bravura e raça: conheça o Mosqueteiro, mascote do Grêmio |url=https://www.torcedores.com/noticias/2020/05/bravura-e-raca-conheca-o-mosqueteiro-mascote-do-gremio |access-date=2024-03-06 |website=Torcedores {{!}} Notícias esportivas |language=pt-BR}}</ref>
On 1 December 2023, Grêmio unveiled a new mascot, "Black Arrow" ({{langx|pt|Flecha Negra}}), inspired by club legend [[Tarciso|Tarciso Flecha Negra]].<ref>{{Cite web|title= Grêmio divulga o desenho do vencedor do concurso cultural para escolha do novo mascote |url=https://gremio.net/noticias/detalhes/27108/gremio-divulga-o-desenho-vencedor-do-concurso-cultural-para-escolha-do-novo-mascote}}</ref> However, Flecha Negra wasn't made to replace the Musketeer, but rather to appear alongside him.
=== Anthem ===
Grêmio's anthem is one of the most critically acclaimed in all of Brazilian football, other than the anthems of the clubs from Rio de Janeiro (all composed by Lamartine Babo), it is the only football anthem composed by a renowned composer, [[Lupicínio Rodrigues]]. Featuring a vivid melody in the style of a march, the anthem features the famous verses: ''Até a pé nós iremos / para o que der e vier / mas o certo é que nós estaremos / com o Grêmio onde o Grêmio estiver'' (Even on foot we will go / against all obstacles / but we sure will be / with Grêmio wherever Grêmio may be). Grêmio supporters boast that Grêmio, as the anthem hints, has never played without supporters anywhere in the world.
[[Eurico Lara]], a goalkeeper who played for the club in the 1920s and in the 1930s, is mentioned in the anthem, where he is called the ''immortal idol'' (or ''craque imortal'', in Portuguese).
==Team kit==
Grêmio tricolour scheme is made up of blue, black, and white, an unusual colour combination for football shirts. The first Grêmio kit was inspired by English club [[Exeter City F.C.|Exeter City]]. At the time, the original kit included a black [[cap]], striped shirt in blue and havana (a variation of brown), white [[Necktie|tie]], white shorts, and black socks. Subsequently, the uniform was changed to blue and black due to the lack of havana fabric. Soon after, vertical white stripes were included in the kit creating a pattern that is used to the present day. Because of this pattern, Grêmio is commonly referred as the "Tricolor". The Grêmio colors are set in the club statute as so;
* Home colors&nbsp;– vertical stripes of light blue and black, with white piping;
* Away colors&nbsp;– white with blue and black detail;
* Alternative colors&nbsp;– dark blue or blue with white details.

It was in the early 1980s that Grêmio received its first official [[Sponsor (commercial)|sponsor]], with the Brazilian [[Olympikus]] providing [[sports equipment]]. The partnership lasted until early 1983, when, on account of the [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense#Valdir Espinosa and the Intercontinental Cup 1983|brilliant moment]] that had been living in their history, the Grêmio has signed a contract with a German [[Adidas]] to supply sports material. However, the partnership was short-lived, as in 1985, with the end of the contract with Adidas, a new supplier emerged, returning to the national level with [[Penalty (sports manufacturer)|Penalty]].
In 1987, for the first time in its history the Grêmio signed a sponsorship agreement for stamping the shirt, with [[Coca-Cola]]. This turn in their campaigns unprecedentedly exchanged their traditional red logo for black, because this color belongs to [[Sport Club Internacional|Internacional]], its [[Gre-Nal|biggest rival]], and it was vetoed by Grêmio.
Sponsorship of Penalty and Coca-Cola persisted with Grêmio for nearly a decade until, in 1995, the soft drink brand left the main sponsor of the shirts, which was assumed by Tintas Renner, a [[paint]] manufacturer, until 1997. In 1998, [[General Motors]] assumed this position, exposing numerous names of [[vehicles]] throughout the partnership. At the beginning of the 21st century, Penalty left the club, with the Italian [[Kappa (company)|Kappa]] providing sports equipment.
In 2001, for the payment of debts, Grêmio closed an agreement with the state government of [[Rio Grande do Sul]], exposing [[Banrisul]] banking mark on his shirt. However, after payment, it was Banrisul who assumed the payments and became the master sponsor of the club. In 2005 the contract with Kappa came to an end, after this, kits were the responsibility of another German in club history, [[Puma SE|Puma]]. Also from this era, Grêmio opened more spaces for smaller sponsors, with the first being Tramontina, [[Unimed (organization)|Unimed]], [[Telecom Italia Mobile|TIM]] and the return of [[Coca-Cola]]. In 2011, once again changing the supplier of sports equipment occurs, this time taking the Brazilian [[Topper (sports)|Topper]], under the value of €4.8&nbsp;million per season, which operates in the South American market, with a contract until the end of 2014. Beginning in 2015 season, the British company [[Umbro]] supplied sports equipment of Grêmio, paying the value of €6&nbsp;million per year.<ref>{{cite web|title=Umbro abriu a carteira para acertar com o Grêmio|url=http://wp.clicrbs.com.br/boladividida/2014/08/12/umbro-abriu-a-carteira-para-acertar-com-o-gremio/?topo=13,1,1,,,13|work=Zero Hora|access-date=4 September 2014|archive-date=5 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305071023/http://wp.clicrbs.com.br/boladividida/2014/08/12/umbro-abriu-a-carteira-para-acertar-com-o-gremio/?topo=13,1,1,,,13|url-status=live}}</ref>
==Stadium==
{{Main|Arena do Grêmio}}

[[File:Arena do Grêmio.jpg|thumb|[[Arena do Grêmio]]]]
[[File:Estádio da Baixada - Moinhos de Vento.jpg|thumb|[[Estádio da Baixada (Porto Alegre)|Estádio da Baixada]] in the 1930s]]
Grêmio's original stadium was the [[Estádio da Baixada (Porto Alegre)|Estádio da Baixada]], built in 1904 at the upper-class neighbourhood of [[Moinhos de Vento]] in Porto Alegre. It was made to please the city's growing colony of [[German Brazilians|Germans]], who were concentrated in the region. The Estádio da Baixada hosted Grêmio until 1954.
[[File:Gremio Stadium.JPG|thumb|[[Estádio Olímpico Monumental]] in 2007]]
The second stadium was the [[Estádio Olímpico Monumental]]. It was inaugurated on 19 September 1954 as Estádio Olímpico, located in the neighbourhood of [[Azenha]].  At the time it was the largest private stadium in [[Brazil]]. Estádio Olímpico's first game was between Grêmio and [[Club Nacional de Football|Nacional]] from [[Uruguay]]; Grêmio won by a score of 2–0, with both goals scored by Vítor.
In 1980 a second tier was added to the Olímpico, and the stadium was renamed the Olímpico Monumental. The first game at the renamed Olímpico Monumental was played on 21 June 1980, when Grêmio beat [[Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]] by a score of 1–0. The Olímpico Monumental has an attendance record of 98,421 people for the game against [[Associação Atlética Ponte Preta|Ponte Preta]] on 26 April 1981.
By the 2000s, the board of directors start to study what to do with the aging Olímpico, the stadium did not meet the club's expectations, due to the construction's lifetime, high maintenance costs, low comfort standards, low quality of services, poor security, insufficient parking and a highly populated region.<ref name="arena1">{{cite web|format=ppt|access-date=8 January 2017|archive-format=ppt|archive-date=2015-09-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924043655/http://www.gremio.net/upload/page/arena-web_1.pps|publisher=Arena Porto Alegrense|title=Apresentação da Arena|url=http://www.gremio.net/upload/page/arena-web_1.pps}}<!-- auto-translated by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> The club instead decided to build a new stadium.

In 2012, Grêmio moved into their new stadium, [[Arena do Grêmio]], a big multi-use stadium in [[Porto Alegre]]. Its capacity is 55,225 and is one of the most modern venues in South America. The inaugural match in Arena was a friendly against [[Hamburger SV]] on 8 December 2012. The attendance record was of 52,223 people at the [[2016 Copa do Brasil Finals]] against [[Clube Atlético Mineiro|Atlético Minero]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://conteudo.cbf.com.br/sumulas/2016/424170b.pdf |title=Sumulas 2016 |access-date=24 January 2023 |archive-date=21 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200921062624/http://conteudo.cbf.com.br/sumulas/2016/424170b.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Arena also hosted the first leg of the [[2017 Copa Libertadores Finals]] against [[Club Atlético Lanús|Lanús]].

==Training centre==
{{Main|CT Luiz Carvalho}}
The first location for training  used by Grêmio was the additional field built next door of [[Estádio Olímpico Monumental]]. However, it can not be exactly characterized as a training centre. In 2000  the construction of the first training centre of the club, the <span title="Centro de Treinamento Hélio Dourado">CT Hélio Dourado</span>, in [[Eldorado do Sul]], in the metropolitan region of [[Porto Alegre]] was completed, but, because of it being located quite far away, it ended up being used for [[Grêmio F.B.P.A. Academy|club's Academy]].
In 2014,the construction of the new training center of Grêmio, the [[CT Luiz Carvalho]], located next to the [[Arena do Grêmio]], in Porto Alegre was finished.

[[File:Torcida do Grêmio FBPA em 1946.jpg|thumb|Grêmio fans in 1946, the year the [[Musketeer]] appeared as the club's mascot, along with the creation of the slogan "With Grêmio wherever Grêmio is". ({{langx|pt|Com o Grêmio onde estiver o Grêmio}})]]
Grêmio fans are called "gremistas" or "tricolores". Originally, Grêmio was a club heavily supported by [[German Brazilians|Brazilians of German descent]] of [[Rio Grande do Sul]]. Over time, that distinction has reduced, and today the fan base is very diverse. The club, together with [[Internacional]], divide the population of Rio Grande do Sul;<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-02-10 |title=Por que Grêmio e Internacional são rivais?

===Geral do Grêmio===

The largest group of Grêmio supporters is Geral do Grêmio, the first and largest Brazilian ''[[barra brava]]'',<ref>{{cite web|title=A Torcida|url=http://www.geraldogremio.com.br/#!about/c240r|publisher=Geral do Grêmio|access-date=10 September 2014|archive-date=1 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101042538/http://www.geraldogremio.com.br/#!about/c240r|url-status=dead}}</ref> movement similar to European [[ultras]] and Brazil's own [[torcida organizada|torcidas organizadas]], but with unique characteristics of Latin America. The group was created during the year 2001 with Grêmio fans watching games from the seats behind the southern goal at [[Estádio Olímpico Monumental]] (an area of the stands called "Geral", as in "general", where tickets had lower costs). The fans were inspired by neighbouring [[Argentina|Argentina's]] and [[Uruguay|Uruguay's]] ''hinchadas'' and barras bravas, an experience coming from trips to [[Copa Libertadores]] away games and cultural links between [[Rio Grande do Sul]] and those countries. As well a period of decadence of Grêmio's traditional Brazilian-style [[torcida organizada|torcidas organizadas]] in the 1990s.<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal |last=Rodrigues |first=Francisco Carvalho dos Santos |date=2012 |title=Amizade, trago e alento: a torcida geral do Grêmio (2001-2011) da rebeldia à institucionalização: mudanças na relação entre torcedores e clubes no campo esportivo brasileiro |url=http://app.uff.br/riuff/handle/1/16325 |language=pt-BR}}</ref> Over the following years, more people joined the movement, and they decided to collectively call themselves by the name of the area from where they watched the games. A unique and traditional feature of the crowd is running down the stand (a movement called the "avalanche"), pressing against the fence when a goal is scored as a way to also embrace the players in celebration.<ref name=":4" />
Being a ''barra brava'', the Geral do Grêmio has differences with the ultras and the [[Torcida organizada|torcidas organizadas]]. They are a free membership group (which means that they do not charge a monthly fee), do not have their own uniforms, nor control over who participates. On games they bring a band consisting of percussion and brass instruments, dictating the rhythm of the [[Football chant|chants]] throughout the game, never stopping or sitting. Banners and flags are exhibited in the length of the sector in which they are located inside the stadium, bringing a unique identity to their supporters. Also, wherever possible, they use [[Flare (pyrotechnic)|flare]], [[smoke bombs]], [[fire extinguishers]], among other materials to encourage the team on the field. In the [[Arena do Grêmio]], which opened in December 2012, the lower northern stand was built with no chairs, with the Geral crowd and its "avalanche" celebration in mind. However, in January 2013 on a game against [[L.D.U. Quito]] the avalanche resulted on the fence breaking and many fans falling into the trench that separated the stands from the pitch. [[Safety barriers]] were installed to make the avalanche impossible.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://placar.abril.com.br/esporte/por-que-a-avalanche-nao-tem-espaco-na-arena-do-gremio | title=Por que a 'avalanche' não tem espaço na Arena do Grêmio | date=31 January 2013 | access-date=1 June 2023 | archive-date=1 June 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230601223830/https://placar.abril.com.br/esporte/por-que-a-avalanche-nao-tem-espaco-na-arena-do-gremio | url-status=live }}</ref>
The Geral enjoys good relationships with some other torcidas organizadas in Brazil, but due the inspiration on the platinean ''barra bravas'', the Geral has a strong bond with [[Club Nacional de Football|Nacional's]] ''La Banda Del Parque''. Members of both groups frequently do confraternizations together, and members frequently attend each other's games.<ref>{{Cite web |last=terra |title=Torcedores de Grêmio e Nacional confraternizam antes de jogo |url=https://www.terra.com.br/esportes/gremio/torcedores-de-gremio-e-nacional-confraternizam-antes-de-jogo,049134b623e45410VgnVCM3000009af154d0RCRD.html |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=Terra |language=pt-BR |archive-date=31 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230131145220/https://www.terra.com.br/esportes/gremio/torcedores-de-gremio-e-nacional-confraternizam-antes-de-jogo,049134b623e45410VgnVCM3000009af154d0RCRD.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Rivalries ==
[[File:Gre-nal.jpg|thumb|220px|[[Grenal]] in 2007]]
[[File:Grenal 1940.jpg|thumb|Grenal in 1940 for the [[Campeonato Citadino de Porto Alegre|Porto Alegre City Championship]]]]
=== Grenal ===
{{Main|Grenal}}
As the years went on, Grêmio and another important football club from [[Porto Alegre]], [[Sport Club Internacional|Internacional]], started to form a rivalry. Soon the games between these two clubs got their own name, Grenal, and resulted in record attendance. The rivalry divides the state of [[Rio Grande do Sul]] and the city of Porto Alegre in half. It is one of the fiercest football rivalries in Brazil, South America and the world. It is accompanied by high levels of emotion, competition and occasional violence.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Lane |first=Barnaby |title=Stabbings, mass brawls, and a mid-match death: Inside 'Grenal' — Brazilian soccer's fiercest derby match |url=https://www.insider.com/biggest-derbies-in-world-football-grenal-gremio-vs-internacional-2020-3 |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=Insider |language=en-US}}</ref>
The first match was held in 1909, Grêmio won the first Grenal in history by the score of 10 to 0. The team led the statistics of Grenais in the first years of dispute until they were surpassed in 1945 by Internacional, which held the advantage in victories until today.<ref>{{Cite web |title=81 anos da estreia de Tesourinha |url=https://internacional.com.br/noticias/81-anos-da-estreia-de-tesourinha |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=internacional.com.br |language=pt-BR |archive-date=31 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230131145218/https://internacional.com.br/noticias/81-anos-da-estreia-de-tesourinha/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
In 1935, Eurico Lara, who was Grêmio's goalie, conceded a penalty kick. When the Internacional player was about to kick it, Lara's brother stopped the game and reminded him of his doctor's recommendation that he didn't overexert himself. He didn't listen. Soon the Internacional player took the shot. Lara caught it, but as soon as he did he fell sideways and didn't move. He was substituted after the wondrous save, and Grêmio won the game. But unfortunately he died two months later as a result of the fatigue from that game. Lara has been immortalized in the club anthem.
=== Gre-Ju ===
Gre-Ju is another rivalry of [[Rio Grande do Sul]], between Grêmio and [[Esporte Clube Juventude|Juventude]] from [[Caxias do Sul]]. For most of its history, the rivalry was one-sided as Juventude was traditionally a weaker team, but it heated up in the 1990s as Juventude grew to be the third powerhouse of the state.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Alegre |first=Por Eduardo Cecconi Porto |title=Juventude x Grêmio: clássico morno na serra gaúcha pelo estadual |url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/times/gremio/noticia/2011/03/juventude-x-gremio-classico-morno-na-serra-gaucha-pelo-estadual.html |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=globoesporte.com |date=30 March 2011 |archive-date=4 April 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110404023156/http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/times/gremio/noticia/2011/03/juventude-x-gremio-classico-morno-na-serra-gaucha-pelo-estadual.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=PG |first=Redação |date=2021-10-16 |title=GreJu dos desesperados: derrota praticamente rebaixa o Grêmio |url=https://portaldogremista.com.br/greju-desesperados-derrota-praticamente-rebaixa-gremio/ |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=portaldogremista.com.br |language=pt-BR |archive-date=31 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230131145221/https://portaldogremista.com.br/greju-desesperados-derrota-praticamente-rebaixa-gremio/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
