Atlético Clube Rioverdense (Or simply Atlético Rioverdense) is a Brazilian sports club in the state of Goiás, more specifically in the city of Rio Verde.[7][8]
The club was founded on June 13, 1984, in the city of Rio Verde, in the state of Goiás.[9][10]
In 2003, Atlético Rioverdense's team almost won the third division title of Campeonato Goiano, finishing as the runner-up.[11]
In 2009, competing again in the third division of Goianão, the club had more luck and ended up winning its first title in professional football.[12]
In 2019, the name of the club was highlighted, unfortunately in a negative way, when the club's athletes were prevented from leaving the hotel where they were staying for lack of payment.[13][14][15]
After a few years on leave, the club returned to dispute the third division of Goianão in 2019,[16][17] where they managed to qualify for the second phase (play-offs) and was eliminated by the Goiatuba team.[18] With that, the Goiatuba team advanced to the next phase, eliminated the Tupy team, reached the final and won the title by beating the Inhumas team.[19][20][21]
