History
Novoperário Futebol Clube was founded on 11 October 2010 by former members of Operário Futebol Clube board of directors and ultra groups,[3][4] and the new club was named after the club they left, Novoperário is a truncation of Novo Operário and means New Operário in Portuguese.[5]
The club became a professional team in late 2011 to compete in the Campeonato Sul-Mato-Grossense Second Division.[4] They won in the same day as the club's foundation its first professional title, which was the 2012 edition of that competition.[6] Novoperário was eliminated by Naviraiense in the Quarterfinals of the 2013 Campeonato Sul-Matogrossense.
Ahead of the 2017 season, to avoid confusion with the supporters of Operário, the club changed name to Novo FC,[7] but the move was made official only in 2020.
