History
Founded in 1919, Amparo AC is one of the oldest professional teams in the state of São Paulo. It achieved its greatest achievements at the end of the 1920s, when it won the interior championship twice. Due to being licensed frequently, Amparo ended up moving to the last divisions, returning to compete professionally with more sequence from 2015, at the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão.[3] Amparo has directly benefited from the unification of titles promoted by the FPF in 2021.[4]
