Sertãozinho Futebol Clube, commonly referred to as Sertãozinho, is a professional association football club based in Sertãozinho, São Paulo, Brazil. The team competes in Campeonato Paulista Série A3, the third tier of the São Paulo state football league.

History

On August 6, 1944,[1] the club was founded by a group of sportsmen. Sertãozinho's first president was Enéas Sílvio Bordin.[2]

Between 1944 and 1969, the club only disputed amateur competitions, like Liga Ribeirãopretana de Futebol (Ribeirão Preto Football League) in the 1950s. At that time, Sertãozinho's greatest rival was Mogiana.[3]

In 1963, the club closed its football section. In 1969, the football section was reopened, using mostly São Paulinho Futebol Clube players.[3]

In 1971, Sertãozinho won its first title, the Campeonato Paulista Third Level, beating Rio Claro in the final. The club was thus promoted to the following year's second level.[2]

In 2004, the club won again the Campeonato Paulista Third Level, beating Mirassol in the final 3-0.[4]

In 2007, Sertãozinho disputed the Campeonato Paulista top level for the first time.[5] Its first game was against São Paulo Futebol Clube, at Frederico Dalmaso stadium. São Paulo won 3-1.[6]
