Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, usually called Palmeiras, is a Brazilian football team from São Paulo, Brazil, founded by Italian-speaking community on August 26, 1914, as Palestra Itália, but changed to the current name on September 14, 1942.
They play in green shirts, white shorts and green socks and are one of the most popular and traditional Brazilian clubs.
