São Cristóvão de Futebol e Regatas, or São Cristóvão as they are usually called, is a traditional Brazilian football team from Rio de Janeiro in Rio de Janeiro state, founded on February 2, 1943. Their home stadium is the Figueirinha stadium, which has a maximum capacity of 8,000 people. They play in white shirts, white shorts and white socks. The club won the state championship in 1926 and competed in the Brazilian Championship in 2000. Legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo, widely considered one of the greatest players of all time, played for the club for three years at youth level.

On November 21, 1926, São Cristóvão won the Campeonato Carioca, after defeating Flamengo 5–1. The topscorer of that competition was São Cristóvão's Vicente, who scored 25 goals.
In 2000, São Cristóvão competed in the Copa João Havelange (which was the national championship of that year). The club was in the white module (which was the lowest level of the league), and ended in fourth in their group, being eliminated in the first stage. In the same year the club also competed in the preliminary stage of the 2001 Campeonato Carioca, finishing in the sixth (and last) place of the competition, failing to qualify to the competition.
