Associação Desportiva Perilima is a football club from Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil. The club was founded on September 8, 1992. The club owner is Pedro Ribeiro Lima nicknamed 'Seu Pedro'; he is also its president. Lima, born in 1948, is also the oldest professional football player in the world, and the oldest player to score a goal in professional football worldwide in 2007 against Campinense from the penalty spot.[2]
In September 1992, Pedro Ribeiro Lima founded a club named after his initials PEdro RIbeiro LIMA (Perilima). The club was founded as a factory team in a sorda candy factory owned by him.[3]
Six years after, in 1998, the club entered its first professional championship. At the time, the team was formed by the factory workers.[4] 'Seu Pedro' was both coach and player, they finished as runners-up and were promoted to Paraíba State Championship First Division, in which they currently play.[5]
During a stage of financial hardship, the club was helped by members of the Orkut social network, who crowdfunded a campaign to alleviate its finances.[6] This campaign effectively acted as a sponsorship deal, and the community's identification number was added to the uniform's shirt sleeves.[7]
