History

In 1982 the club won the President's Cup, played in South Korea.[3]
Since November 29, 1999, Operário is an enterprise. Because of this, the team name changed from Operário Futebol Clube to Operário Futebol Clube S/A. S/A means joint-stock company.
Currently Operário is in a very serious financial crisis and most of its debts are labor debts and tax debts.
