América Futebol Clube (América Mineiro or simply América) is a traditional Brazilian football team from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, founded on April 30, 1912 and hosts its games at Estádio Independência.

On April 30, 1912, a group of young men who played football purely for the love of the game, decided to turn their team into a football club. ^{In the first meeting, the founders decided that the name of the club would be América Foot-Ball Club, and the colors would be green and white. The first matches were played on the mayor’s field. In 1913, América and Minas Gerais Futebol Clube fused, and the club changed its colors to green, white and black. Between 1916 and 1925, the team won ten state championships in a row.}

In 1933, as a protest to the professionalization of Brazilian football, the club changed its colors to red and white. ^{In 1943, the club professionalized its football division, and returned to its previous colors. In 1948, América won its first state championship as a professional club.}

In 1997, América won the Série B for the first time, ^{and in 2000, the club won the Copa Sul-Minas first edition, beating Cruzeiro in the final. In 2004, after a poor performance in the Série B, América was relegated to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, and in 2007, the club finished in Campeonato Mineiro’s last position, and was relegated to the following year’s Campeonato Mineiro Second Division. América won the Série C in 2009, beating ASA in the final. The following year, the team was fourth at Série B and returned to the top level of the Brazilian championship after 10 years. On June 14, 2013 América signed a cooperation contract with the Tahitian Football Federation, to develop under-20 national players.}
