History

The club was founded on October 11, 1908, after two clubs from Pelotas, Club Sportivo Internacional and Foot-ball Club, merged.[1] In 1930, Pelotas won the Campeonato Gaúcho, beating Grêmio in the final.[2]

In 1983, Pelotas won the Campeonato Gaúcho Second Level.[3] In 1988, Pelotas competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B for the first time,[4] but was eliminated in the first stage.[5] In 1989, the club competed again in the Série B, being eliminated in the first stage again.[6]

In 1995, 1996 and in 1998, Pelotas competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C,[4] being eliminated in the first stage in all three seasons.[7][8][9] In 2003, the club competed again in the Série C, where they were eliminated by RS Futebol in the third stage of the competition.[10] In the same year, Pelotas competed in the Copa do Brasil, being eliminated in the cup's first round, by Guarani.[11]

In 2008, the club won the Copa FGF for the first time, after beating Cerâmica in the final,[12] thus qualifying to the same season's Recopa Sul-Brasileira,[13] and the following season's Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[12] The club was eliminated in the Recopa Sul-Brasileira in the semifinals 2–0, by Atlético Sorocaba.[14]
