History
[edit | edit source]Founded in 1917 in the city of Guaçuí, Capixaba SC won the Campeonato Capixaba Série B in 1995, but was financially unable to compete in the top-flight Campeonato Capixaba in 1996. Only two teams took part in the second division in 1996, which resulted in the club being promoted as runners-up to Estrela do Norte, but the club was instantly relegated back in 1997.[1]
In 2010, the club became a corporation. The following year, it withdrew from both the state's second division and the Copa ES, while players complained of wage delays and poor working conditions.[1]
Relocated to Vargem Alta while training in Castelo due to rain damage, Capixaba SC returned to Série B in 2020. Its first fixture, against Pinheiros Futebol Clube, was declared a 3–0 walkover loss as the club had not registered its players in time.[2] After the COVID-19 break, the club relocated to Nova Venécia.[3] Finishing third of five teams, the club made the playoffs, drawing 1–1 on aggregate with Vilavelhense who advanced due to better seeding.[4]
In 2024, Capixaba SC won promotion back to the top flight and then defeated Vilavelhense 1–0 in the final for the Série B title. The club won a prize of R$35,000 for the feat.[5]
Capixaba SC prepared for a return to the top flight by hiring Portuguese manager João Carlos Moura from Atlético-CE. He was dismissed a week before opening day, and later accused club president Daniel Costa of interfering in selections.[6] In the 2025 Campeonato Capixaba, the club finished 5th of 10 teams and lost the quarter-final 3–1 on aggregate to Rio Branco.[7]
