Sociedade Esportiva do Gama, or Gama, as they are usually called, is a Brazilian football team from Gama in Federal District (Brazil), founded on November 15, 1975.
Until the early 1970s, the city of Gama was known only to its amateur teams. This movement has grown more and more the city's desire to have its first professional football club. Founded in 1975 by Mr. Hermínio Ferreira Neves, the Sociedade Esporte do Gama was the first professional team in the city. The founder was president of the amateur team Minas Atlético Clube.
Formed initially with players of the most diverse amateur teams of the city, Gama soon gained the sympathy of the local population. February 21, 1976 will be marked as the day of his first professional game, valid for the Press Tournament. With the support of Mr. Valmir Campelo de Bezerra, regional administrator of the city of Gama and a great admirer of local football, the Gama Administration Stadium was rebuilt and reopened on October 9, 1977.
Faced with the support of the authorities and the enthusiasm of the local people, the Sociedade Esporte do Gama began to shine in its early years. In 1977 and 1978, Gama won the bicampeonato of the Tournament Press and its supporter was the one of greater frequency in the stages of the Federal District. Four years after its founding in 1979, the team won its first state title by winning Brasília.
With only six years of foundation, in 1981, the club arrived at its first regional title. The team won the Torneio Centro-Oeste by beating Goiânia 2-1 in the aggregate. In 1998, the club won its greatest title to date when winning the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.
On November 15, 1975, the day of its founding, the Sociedade Esportiva do Gama adopted as its first coat the coat of arms of the Federal District with the letters SEG. The symbol was a pillar of the Alvorada Palace. Intuitively, Mr. Hermínio Ferreira Neves, introduced the symbol in the Palmeiras uniform. Curiously, the early players called the DEFER symbol (the former Department of Physical Education, Sports and Recreation), because that body eventually contributed some material to the teams of the Capital.
With several projects in the curriculum, including the Bezerrão Stadium and the city's permanent Fair, architect Alberto Farah, an employee of the Gamma Regional Administration, sought inspiration to create the club's new emblem. And in 1978, with reference to the World Cup logo that year, the architect creates the club's new coat of arms. At the end of the project, the arms were excluded and the ball in the center was similar to a beehive, referring to the planning of the sectors of the city.
