Clube Náutico Capibaribe, commonly known as Náutico, is a historic club from Recife, Pernambuco, currently playing in the Brazilian Série C. The team's fortress is the Estádio dos Aflitos, a venue known for its intense atmosphere. Founded in 1901, Náutico's iconic red and white stripes have been worn by many legends over the decades. The club is one of the traditional "Big Three" of Pernambuco football, alongside Sport and Santa Cruz. Náutico has enjoyed successful periods in the top flight, most notably in the 1960s when they were a formidable force in the Brasileirão. The modern era has been challenging, with the club finding itself in Série C, fighting to climb back to the higher divisions it once called home. Despite the difficulties, the *Timbu* (a nickname referring to the opossum) fan base remains fiercely loyal, packing the Aflitos to drive their team forward. Náutico's current campaign in Série C is a crucial chapter in its effort to reclaim its status as a national competitor.
