Esporte Clube de Patos, commonly known as Esporte de Patos, or just as Esporte, is a Brazilian football club based in Patos, Paraíba state.

History[edit]

The club was founded on July 7, 1952, by former athletes from the defunct local club Botafogo de Patos. The founders were fans of Pernambuco football, thus the club adopted a similar name to Sport Club do Recife, and adopted the same colors and team kits as Clube Náutico Capibaribe's.[1] Esporte won the Campeonato Paraibano second division in 2005, 2013, 2015[2] and 2018.[3]
