The Brazilian team Fluminense were foundered by the Englishman Oscar Cox in 1902, and 47 years later became the only football club in the world to have received the Olympic Cup, a trophy that is awarded annually to any club or institution that embodies the spirit of the Olympic movement.
The Flu-Fla derby between Fluminese and Flamengo is one of the most anticipated match-ups in the world, and the 1963 clash between the two Rio de Janiero giants was watched at the Maracaná by over 195,000 spectators.
Notable players to wear the famous tricolour shirt include Carlos Alberto, Rivellino, and Romario.
The postcard is from 1964 and celebrates the 62nd anniversary of the club.
