Atlético Clube Goianiense was founded on April 2, 1937, by Nicanor Gordo and Joaquim Veiga, making it the oldest football club in Goiânia, the capital city of Goiás state in Brazil. Throughout its history spanning over eight decades, the club has demonstrated resilience by experiencing several promotions and relegations between Brazil's football divisions, repeatedly returning to top-flight football despite setbacks.

The club holds the distinction of being the first team from Goiás state to win a national competition (Série C). They made a notable return to Brazil's top-flight Série A in 2010 after a 23-year absence and won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B in 2016. Their best international performance came in 2022 when they reached the semi-finals of the Copa Sudamericana. Domestically, they have won the Campeonato Goiano (state championship) 18 times, including a perfect undefeated campaign in 1957. Most recently, they won the 2024 Campeonato Goiano despite being relegated from Série A in the same season.
