History

The club was established in 2017, conceived by Father Osvaldo de Oliveira Rosa, the driving force behind the "Padre Osvaldo" football school, which was established in 2010 as a social project catering to approximately 300 young boys.^{[citation needed]}

The club made its professional debut in the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão in 2018, commencing their campaign with promising results.^[3][4] However, as the competition progressed, the team experienced a significant decline in performance, enduring several defeats and draws. Accumulating only a few points, they ultimately finished second to last in their group, narrowly edging out their city rivals, Grêmio Catanduvense.^{[citation needed]}
