History
[edit]A replacement to dissolved Grêmio Esportivo Novorizontino, the club was founded on 1 March 2010, inheriting the club's colors and logo.[1][2] After spending its first years in amateur football, the club joined Federação Paulista de Futebol in 2010, but only appeared in a competition of the federation in 2012.
In its first professional year, Novorizontino achieved a promotion from Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão, finishing fourth.[3] After managing to survive in 2013's Série A3, the club was crowned champions in the following year, after defeating Independente de Limeira by 5–0 on aggregate.[4]
On 28 April 2015, Novorizontino sealed its promotion to Campeonato Paulista Série A1, finishing second in the tournament.[5] After managing to avoid relegation in the 2016 Campeonato Paulista, the club reached the competition's knockout rounds in the following year, but was knocked out by Palmeiras.
In 2020, Novorizontino achieved a first-ever promoton to the Série C, after reaching the semifinals of the 2020 Série D. In the 2021 Campeonato Paulista, the club won the Troféu do Interior, and achieved a second consecutive league promotion at the end of the year. Despite suffering relegation in the 2022 Paulistão, the club managed to avoid relegation in the Série B.
Novorizontino returned to the Paulista Série A1 immediately in 2023, and missed out a top tier promotion in the league's last round, finishing fifth. They reached the 2024 Campeonato Paulista semifinals, being again fifth in the league, before another stable state league and league campaigns in 2025.
In the 2026 Campeonato Paulista, Novorizontino reached the finals for the first time ever, but lost to Palmeiras.
