The Rio de Janeiro Football Club, initially conceived as theGrande Rio Sports Association, had been competing in the grassroots competitions for twelve years, but the name and registration were only formalized in 2002. The club is one of the greatest opportunities for young football talent in Piabetá. It has an eight-field training center. It was founded by professor Ênio Farias.
In 2009, they won the Third Division of Rio de Janeiro junior category.
Founded in 2017, the club was conceived by Douglas Almeida, a football manager with a stint inAraruama. The club came about to bring back professional football to the city of Maricá after 2005 whenTaquaral competed in the Rio Cup.[3]
The club partnered with the Rio de Janeiro Football Club to compete in theCampeonato Carioca Serie B2 in its founding year.[4][5] The goal is to follow the path of other partnerships that worked in Rio football, such as the partnership betweenCampos Atlético Associação andCarapebus, a partnership between Arraial do Cabo andAraruama and the partnership betweenSanta Cruz andBelford Roxo.
After announcing the manager Polaco Valoura for the State'sB2 series, Maricá confirmed the names of 24 players.
