History

The club was founded by the "Sempre Tricolores" movement, as a way to resurrect the spirit and pay homage to the history of Estrela da Amadora, which was declared insolvent due to financial problems.[4]

The club only worked in the youth leagues until the start of the 2018–19 season. The senior team debuted on September 23, 2018 in a Lisbon FA Cup away match against FC Ota, which the tricolors won 4–1.

In its first season they played in the Lisbon FA First Division Serie 2, level 6 of the Portuguese football league system, and placed 8th in the overall standings out of 16 clubs.
