In recent years, the team played in the Santarém District Leagues before reaching promotion to the Terceira Divisão in 2004 and subsequently the Segunda Divisão in 2008.

The club was relegated to the Third Division for the 2010–11 season, where it won the Série D league, and returned to compete in the Second Division in 2011–12.[2]

Each season, the team competes in the Portuguese Cup.[3]
