Leão do Mar

"Leão do Mar" (Portuguese pronunciation: [leˈɐ̃w du ˈmaʁ], "Lion of the Sea") is a hymn of Santos FC. It was commissioned in 1955 to celebrate the club's second Campeonato Paulista, and their first in 20 years. The words were written by Mangeri Neto and the music was composed by Mangeri Sobrinho.

Although the anthem is not officially recognized, it is highly regarded as the de facto anthem of Santos, played during television coverages, goals and title commemorations. Both players and fans have publicly pushed for the recognition of the hymn by the club.
