They changed the name back to Capital CF in the end of the year.

Between 2017 and 2019, the team had a partnership with Clube Desportivo Futebol Universidade de Brasília and used the name Capital/UNB.[4]

In 2024, the team has reached the finals of the Campeonato Brasiliense for the first time after defeating Brasiliense on the semifinals, qualifying for the 2025 seasons of Campeonato Brasileiro Série D, Copa Verde and Copa do Brasil.

The team's main rival is Legião FC, who plays the "Clássico do Rock" (Rock and Roll Derby) with them. The name is related to two popular bands originated in Brasília, Capital Inicial and Legião Urbana.
