Ponte Preta, officially known as Associação Atlética Ponte Preta, is a Brazilian soccer club based in Campinas, São Paulo. Founded in 1900, it is one of the oldest clubs in the country. Ponte Preta has a rich history, primarily competing in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and the Campeonato Paulista. The club's home venue is the Estádio Moisés Lucarelli, which has a capacity of around 19,000 spectators. Ponte Preta's nickname is "Macaca," which means "female monkey" in Portuguese. This nickname originated from a match against a team from Santos, where Ponte Preta's players were compared to monkeys due to their agility and speed. Despite never winning a national title, Ponte Preta has had notable accomplishments, including reaching the finals of the Copa do Brasil in 2017.
