Uberlândia

Uberlândia Esporte Clube (stylized as UberLÂNDIA Esporte Clube), usually known simply as Uberlândia and whose acronym is UEC, is a Brazilian football team from the city of Uberlândia in Minas Gerais State who currently play in Série D, the fourth tier of the Brazilian football league system, as well as in the Campeonato Mineiro, the top tier of the Minas Gerais state football league. Founded in 1922, they play their home games at Estádio Parque do Sabiá. The club colors are green and white and their nicknames include "Verdão" (The Big Green) and "Furacão Verde da Mogiana" (The Green Hurricane from Mogiana).

On April 2, 2026, American ridesharing and delivery company Uber reached an agreement with Uberlândia to purchase the club's naming rights. With this, the Brazilian team will now be called UberLÂNDIA, in a move that plays on the similarity between the brand name and the city, and reinforces the company's presence in football.
