History

The club was founded on August 15, 1911,[1] being named after the Tupinambás, a Native Brazilian nation. The club won the Campeonato Citadino de Juiz de Fora in 1919, 1920, 1924, 1925, 1928, 1931, 1932, 1934, 1946, 1961, and 1966. They competed in the Campeonato Mineiro in 1969, but closed their football department soon after that due to financial problems. Tupynambás competed in the Campeonato Mineiro Second Level in 1983, but after a bad performance, the team, commanded by head coach Augusto Clemente, again closed its football department. The club reopened its football department in 2007 when they reached the Second Stage of the Campeonato Mineiro Third Level. Tupynambás' Renato Santiago was the competition's top goal scorer, with 12 goals, but once again ceased football operations.

In 2016, Tupynambás returned to professional football after receiving a percentage fee from Danilo's sale to Real Madrid.[2]
