Boa Esporte played theSérie B between 2011 and 2015, almost being promoted to the first division in their debut year (when they were 4 points away from 4th placerSport Recife), and in 2014 (2 points away from 4th placerAvaí FC). Despite being second to last in 2015, they were the surprise winners of the2016 Série C.
In March 2017, the club came to international media attention for their signing ofBruno Fernandes de Souza. Bruno was convicted ofdismembering his mistress, Eliza Samudio, in 2010 and feeding her remains to his pet dogs, in a dispute over child support. In March 2013, he was sentenced to 22 years, however, he was granted release on appeal.[2] This signing led to multiple sponsors, such as Gois and Silva, dropping the club and has led to protests and outrage in Brazil.[3] Bruno's signing while awaiting appeal has led to variousHuman Rights organizations to protest that clubs like Boa Esporte do not value women or abuses against them by players.[4]
In 2024, the club announced its return to Ituiutaba.[5]
