Central Sport Club, usually known simply as Central, is a Brazilian football club from Caruaru, Pernambuco state.
On June 15, 1919, at Sociedade Musical Comercial Caruaruense, the club was founded by Francisco Porto de Oliveira and the club name was a suggestion by Severino Bezerra.
In 1986, Central competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, which was named Taça de Prata and Torneio Paralelo. The club won its group and was promoted to the same year's first level. However, the club finished in the last position of its Série A group, and was relegated to the following year's second level.
Central's greatest rival is from the same city: Clube Atlético do Porto. The game between the two is called "Clássico Matuto".
