History
Founded on 23 May 2019 by a group of businessmen,[2] Amazonas FC played their first professional tournament, the Campeonato Amazonense Second Division, nearly six months later. They won the tournament after defeating São Raimundo in the final.[3]
In their first Campeonato Amazonense, Amazonas FC were knocked out in the first phase. In 2021, after Manaus FC reached the finals, the club qualified to the 2022 Série D for the first time in their history, after being the best-placed team in the first phase.[4]
On 28 August 2022, Amazonas achieved a first-ever promotion to the Série C, after defeating Portuguesa-RJ in the 2022 Série D quarterfinals.[5]
After their promotion one year before, Amazonas beat Botafogo-PB 2-0 and won the club's first ever promotion to the second division.[6] On 22 October 2023, Amazonas became champions of Série C, the first national title for a team from the state of Amazonas.[7]
