Brazilian football team Esporte Clube Juventude has been put up for sale after falling out of the country’s top flight once again.

The second division team, founded in 1913, won the Brazilian Cup in 1999 and is considered one of oldest football clubs in southern Brazil. The club has since struggled, collapsing to the fourth division in 2013 before climbing back up to Serie A in 2021. The team was relegated in 2022 after two years in the league.
