History

North Esporte Clube was announced in June 2022 as Montes Claros' first professional team since the demise of Montes Claros Esporte Clube  [ pt ]. The club began as a partnership between former Athletic Club (MG) owner Victor Felipe Oliveira, and Montes Claros América Vôlei owner Andrey Souza. [1] It entered the Campeonato Mineiro Segunda Divisão, the third tier of the Federação Mineira de Futebol's leagues, and won promotion as champions in its first season; in the final, it defeated Coimbra Sports after an aggregate draw in the final, due to having the better regular season. [2]

In August 2025, North won the Campeonato Mineiro Módulo II with a single goal by Luiz Thiago in the two-legged final against URT. [3] Days after the result, the club appointed 2002 FIFA World Cup-winning former player Kléberson as the new manager. [4]

On 11 January 2026, North made its debut in the top-flight Campeonato Mineiro, in a goalless draw away to URT. [5]
