History

Palmas Futebol e Regatas was founded on January 31, 1997, after borrowing Canelas documentation, which was already regularized at Tocantins Football Federation, thus, becoming the first professional club of the city. Tocantins Governor Siqueira Campos was the first person to sign the club's foundation minute.[1]

On March 30, 1997, at Estádio General Sampaio, Porto Nacional, Belziran José de Souza scored the club's first goal. However, Palmas was beaten by Interporto 2-1.[1]

In 1997, Palmas competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C for the first time.[2] The club was eliminated in the first stage.[3]

On February 21, 2001, Palmas played its 100th match, against Gama, at Estádio Mané Garrincha, Brasília. Gama beat Palmas 1-0.[1]

In 2004, the club was eliminated in Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, by 15 de Novembro. That was the club's best participation in the competition.[4]
