History and achievements
Atlético Goianiense is a Brazilian football club from Goiânia, Goiás state. It`s the third most popular side in the state, after Vila Nova and Goiás.
On April 2, 1937 two great football enthusiasts Joaquim Veiga and Nicanor Gordo formed a new club called Atlético Goianiense. A little bit later they created another football team, Goiânia Esporte Clube. In 1944 these two sides along with Goiás, Vila Nova and Campinas became founder members of the main league of the state. That year saw Atlético Goianiense clinch its first title triumph.
In 2003 Atlético finished the championship as the lowest-placed club and so fell into the second division. Within two seasons the team came back where it belonged. In 2007 Dragão sealed the Campeonato Goiano triumph. That was the tenth title which ended the club`s 19-year wait for medals.
Atlético quickly rose through the divisions as the Brazilian side won the Série C, moving to the Série B and later to the main division. In the year of 2010 Atlético was on the brink of relegating but finally managed to get out of the drop zone, finishing 16th. Its arch rival Goiás wasn`t so lucky and eventually left the elite division. However, in 2012 Atlético yielded the place in the top flight championship to their arch-rivals.
