Hino Oficial Do Santos FC

Hino Oficial Do Santos Futebol Clube (, "Official Anthem of Santos Football Club") is the official hymn of Santos FC. It was commissioned in July of 1957 to celebrate the club's bicampeonato Paulista, having won the Campeonato Paulista in 1955 and successfully defending it in 1956. The words and the music was composed by Carlos Henrique Roma.
Although the anthem was created in the late 1950s, it was not until 1996 that the club officially recognized the anthem officially, thanks to Júlio Teixeira Nunes, one of Santos' advisors. Despite its official status, most Santistas and media outlets widely use the more popular Leão do Mar as Santos' anthem.
