They currently play in the Série B, the second tier of Brazilian football, as well as in the Campeonato Paulista Série A1, the first tier of the São Paulo state football league.

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]
