History

On 4 April 1991, the club was founded.^[1] Four years later, in 1995, the club competed in the Campeonato Alagoano Second Division, which the club won without losing a single match.

In 1997 the club joined a partnership with the Portuguese club Benfica.^[2] The club again competed in the Campeonato Alagoano Second Division. Corinthians Alagoano won again without losing a single match and was promoted to the First Division.^[1]

In 2000, the club, for the first time ever, played in a national competition. Corinthians Alagoano was in the green module (which was the competition equivalent to the Third Division) of Copa João Havelange. In the first stage, the club qualified for the first position in their group. However, they were eliminated in the second stage.^[3] In 2001, Corinthians Alagoano competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Third Division. The club was the first-placed team in their group in the first stage, but was, however, eliminated in the second stage.^[4] In the following year, in 2002, after a poor performance, Corinthians was eliminated in the first stage of the Campeonato Brasileiro third division.^[5] Corinthians Alagoano competed again in the competition in 2003. Corinthians Alagoano's group consisted of Botafogo (PB) and Sousa, both of Paraíba state. The club was defeated in all four group matches it played.^[6] Corinthians Alagoano also took part in that year's Copa do Brasil, but was eliminated in the first stage by Flamengo of Piauí.^[7]

In 2004, Corinthians Alagoano won its first state championship, after defeating Coruripe in the final.^[8] In the same year, the club again was eliminated in the first stage of the Campeonato Brasileiro Third Division, finishing last in its group.^[9]
