History

Marília Athletic Club was founded in 1936 in the city of Marília, in the interior of São Paulo state, as a club aimed at bringing together the sports community of the region. Over the years, it became one of the best-known representatives of western São Paulo football, revealing players who went on to play for major clubs in Brazil. Bento de Abreu Stadium, its home, was the stage for major regional confrontations and supported the passion of the green and black fans for decades. The club participated in several editions of the São Paulo Championship, sometimes in Series A1, sometimes in access divisions, but always maintaining its status as a traditional and respected club. The rivalry with teams from the interior of São Paulo, such as Ferroviária de Araraquara and Mirassol, is an essential part of the club's identity. Marília AC has always stood out for its organization and athlete development, being a respectable breeding ground in São Paulo state football.
