[edit] History

The club was founded after two amateur soccer teams, named Matapasto and Jurubeba fused, and after RVC (Rede de Viação Cearense, "Cearense Traffic Net"), a railroad company, wanted to have a team playing in Campeonato Cearense. On May 9, 1933 the team was founded as Ferroviário Foot-Ball Club. The club changed its name to Ferroviário Atlético Clube after some time.

In 1937, Ferroviário won its first title, the Campeonato Cearense Second Division, being promoted to the following year's first division.

In 1945, the club won its first state championship, the Campeonato Cearense, after beating Maguary 3-1 in the final.

In 1968, Ferroviário won the Campeonato Cearense without losing a single match.

On December 6, 2005, a Ferroviário player, Alessandro, died during a training at Vila Olímpica Elzir Cabral.
