5 interesting facts about Água Santa, the highlight of Paulistão

There is no denying it, Água Santa is making waves on social media with each victory in the Campeonato Paulista. The team, which is originally from the floodplain, became professional in 2011 and is competing in its fourth season in the elite state championship.

The anthem is sung by Naldo Benny

Another random ride for Naldo Benny, the owner of the hit 'chocolate love'. The Água Santa anthem was composed and recorded by Naldo and Thalles Roberto, who is a gospel singer.

Naldo never went to the team's stadium.

Obvious name

The team was founded in 1981, in Diadema, close to Estrada Água Santa and the Billings Reservoir. The name isn't creative, but the nickname 'Neptune' was.

Connection with a criminal faction?

The city of Diadema, which was once one of the most violent in the state of São Paulo, is constantly the target of prejudice. One of the biggest difficulties for the team that was born in the city, are the rumors or insinuations about an alleged connection between the club and a criminal faction that was born in São Paulo's prisons. “This was the PCC team, they said. But, the fact is that NOTHING has been proven in this regard to date, and the team's management denies any accusation.
