[edit] History

Mogi Mirim Esporte Clube is the oldest club of its city. The club was founded in 1932, and since their first year the club have been competing in tournaments organized by the Federação Paulista de Futebol (Paulista Football Federation). The club became a professional team only in the 1950s, but their results were poor. In the 1980s, after the arrival of Wilson de Barros to the presidency of the club, Mogi Mirim commenced to achieve better campaigns, being promoted to the Campeonato Paulista first division. However, the club was relegated to the second division in 1994, but was promoted again to the first division in the following year.
