History

Since the formation of the Unión Deportiva Comercial de Guayaquil tournament in 1923, a soccer team of employees of EMELEC (Electric Company) was formed and won the championship in 1925.

It was officially founded on April 28, 1929 in Guayaquil after an assembly of employees of Empresa Eléctrica del Ecuador headed by George Capwell, who belonged to the company's superintendence area. In this way, the American George Lewis Capwell would become the first president of the institution and his compatriot Hiram Saine Foley the first honorary president.

Emelec has promoted twenty-three amateurs sports disciplines, among the first sports practiced in the sports club were baseball, basketball, boxing and swimming. George Capwell was a fan of baseball, he was even part of the institution's team, so football was supported to a greater extent by company employees. Soccer became its main sports discipline, after the football team was proclaimed champion of Guayaquil for the first time on September 30, 1946, after the inauguration of the George Capwell Stadium, which despite having been built as beisball Stadium. it became the home of the Guayas provincial soccer tournaments.

The first outfit worn by the club was classic of the time, with a black shirt with a collar and white shorts. In 1940 the colors of the shirt changed to light blue and grey, and it was not until 1961 that the club used its traditional blue shirt with a diagonal gray stripe for the first time.

In 2010, the club reached a score of 16% of supporters according to the study carried out by the pollster BRANDIM in that year, on the other hand, the results of the survey also carried out in 2010 by the company EUFRAL reflected that Emelec has a 20.09% acceptance rate nationwide.

In its beginnings it was located in the General del Estadio Modelo.

Rivalries

In terms of sports, the Guayaquil team maintains a rivalry with clubs from the coast and the mountains. In Guayaquil, the shipyard classic is played, which is the soccer match in which the two most popular teams face each other and with the largest fans in the Ecuadorian football, Club Sport Emelec and Barcelona. The local press calls this match The Immortal Party for concentrating large masses in their matches. According to the English portal FourFourTwo, this classic is ranked number 34 of the greatest historical rivalries in the world. In 2014, the first final of an Ecuadorian championship was played between both squads, the so-called Final of the Century, where Emelec won with an aggregate score of 4 to 1, with that final won the third two-time championship in its football history was achieved.

While in Quito, Emelec has played more soccer finals with Liga de Quito than against any other Ecuadorian team. In the first final played at Casa Blanca, the electric team suffered a 7-0 defeat; In 2010 again the whites would win a final against Emelec, they were the first rival team to go around the Olympics at the George Capwell Stadium, with an overall score of 2 to 1; the Blue Ballet in the three-time championship achieved in 2015, would win the final with the overall result of 3 to 1, became the first rival team to do the Olympic tour at Casa Blanca, in the last final played in 2018 LDU they would win again with a score of 2-1. The rivalry with the capital team goes beyond football, since the conflicts between the sports leaders of both teams are constant.

Economic-financial analysis

In 2013, Emelec maintained its economic balance with a budget of seven million dollars. Pilsener Beer became its main sponsor by replacing PDV, which earned it income of two million dollars a year. The Banco del Pacífico signed an agreement for the Capwell Stadium to bear his name for a 3-year contract and an amount of 4.4 million. That year he also received 1.8 million for television rights. Other important income was the sale of several players including the player Marlon de Jesús, whose pass was sold for 3.6 million to Monterrey of Mexico.

In 2014, it was ranked 28th in the most valuable teams in America. Also, in 2018, Emelec was the only Ecuadorian team to appear on the Forbes list of the 50 most valuable teams in America, ranked 44.
