Бразилензе

The club was founded on 1 August 2000 with the involvement of the CNPJ of Atlântida Esporte Clube by Luís Estêvão.

Brasiliense managed to establish records in the Federal District and in Brazil during its short history. The club became the youngest finalist of a Copa do Brasil in its first participation, in 2002. It was the first and only team of the Federal District to dispute a national title in the elite of football. After eliminating traditional opponents like Náutico, Fluminense and Atlético Mineiro, they were runners-up in the final against Corinthians. Also in 2002, the club won its first national title, the Brazilian third division. Two years later, it achieved its greatest victory to date, by winning the Brazilian second division and achieving promotion to the Serie A. However, in the 2005 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Brasiliense finished last and were relegated to the Serie B in 2006. Also in 2005, the club made the Copa do Brasil semi-finals, losing to champions Fluminense.
