Club: União São João Esporte Clube (commonly written UNIAO SAO JOAO)

Location: Araras, state of São Paulo, Brazil.

• Timeframe: mid-1990s (around the 1995–1996 season).
• Coach noted: Marinho Perez is listed in some contemporary references as the club’s coach around that period; however, publicly available records from regional newspapers and online databases are incomplete and occasionally inconsistent for lower-division/state-level coaching appointments.
• Competitions typically contested in that era: Campeonato Paulista (state championship) and the Campeonato Brasileiro national competitions (depending on the year, the club could appear in Série B or Série C); the club’s exact national-division placement can vary year to year.

Reliability / caveats

• Mid-1990s records for Brazilian clubs outside the biggest teams are often scattered across magazine archives (Placar), contemporary newspapers (Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo, Estado), and specialist databases (RSSSF Brasil, futebolnacional.com.br, Ogol). Some online summaries reproduce different coach names or dates because of interim appointments or incomplete reporting.
• The attribution of Marinho Perez as coach around 1995/96 appears in some sources but should be confirmed against match reports, official club releases, or archived newspapers for precise dates, lineups and competition results.

How this can be expanded (sources you may request)

• Season-by-season fixtures, results and final standings for 1995 and 1996 (state and national competitions).
• Match-by-match lineups and coaches listed in contemporary newspaper match reports.
• Squad lists, transfers, and key statistics for players from that season.
• Scanned clippings or citations from Placar, Folha or regional press archives to confirm coaching dates and appointments.

This summary provides the core identification and context for União São João circa 1995–96 and notes that Marinho Perez is associated with the team in some records; verification against primary match reports or archival sources is recommended for definitive confirmation. I can compile a detailed season dossier (results, lineups, squad, primary-source citations) if further detail is required.
