History

A replacement to dissolved Grêmio Esportivo Novorizontino, the club was founded on 1 March 2010, inheriting the club's colors and logo.[1][2] After spending its first years in amateur football, the club joined Federação Paulista de Futebol in 2010, but only appeared in a competition of the federation in 2012.

In its first professional year, Novorizontino achieved a promotion from Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão, finishing fourth.[3] After managing to survive in 2013's Série A3, the club was crowned champions in the following year, after defeating Independente de Limeira by 5–0 on aggregate.[4]

On 28 April 2015, Novorizontino sealed its promotion to Série A1, finishing second in the tournament.[5]
