Disputed the Campeonato Paulista for 16 times (1939–1949, 1951–1953 and 1958–1959),[1] but without getting a great season. The club played at professional level until 1961, and in the youth categories until 1979, when the club was extinguished after the death of the then president Antônio La Porta.[2]
