Águia de Marabá Futebol Clube

At this stage of its history, Águia had José "Zé" Atlas Pinheiro as president.[4] During this period, the team won three municipal championships in 1989, 1992 and 1993, as well as four runners-up championships in 1988, 1994, 1996 and 1998.[5] At the last vice-championship, Águia's president was already Jorge Nery, who, sought by councilor Sebastião Ferreira Neto "Ferreirinha" in 1999, agreed to professionalize the team. The proposal gained support from the then president of the "Federação Paraense de Futebol" (Pará Football Federation), Coronel Nunes, from the "Companhia Vale do Rio Doce" (today Vale S.A.) and from the local business community.[4]

In 2000, the following year as a professional, Águia won the title of the Copa Ferreirinha[4] (the first edition of the "Copa Meio-Norte" [Mid-North Cup]), a tournament created to honor the idealizer of the team's professionalization, played by teams from Pará and the states of Maranhão and Tocantins,[4] in addition to the host team, which in the following year was in second place in the tournament, having lost the final to Clube do Remo.[6]

In the 1999 Campeonato Paraense the team finished among the top four clubs, with a strong squad, of which stood out: Marcos Garça, Damião, Berg, Paulinho Santarém, Gilberto Pereira, Maurinho and Corujito; the latter scored three goals in the competition and became the team's top scorer in the championship.[4]

In the following two years, the team was crowned champion of the interior, a title given to the best classified interior team in the Campeonato Paraense, and precisely because of this good performance in the championship, the team from Marabá was given the right to compete in the 2001 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C (the third tier of Brazilian football), where the team had discrete performances, however, above the expectation of the board and Águia fans.[4]

In 2002 the team did not have a good participation in the state championship, and ended the season being coached by football director João Galvão. However, under the command of Galvão, the team achieved a great feat, which was the Maranhão-Pará-Tocantins Cup (the third edition of the "Copa Meio-Norte" [Mid-North Cup]) title, the team's most notorious regional title.[7]

In 2008, when the team gained access to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, Águia had its biggest period of regularity, having eight consecutive participations in the division. In the same year, the team came very close to getting promoted to the 2009 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B (the second tier of Brazilian football), placing fifth overall (only four clubs were promoted).[6]

That same year, the team won the "Taça Cidade de Belém" (City of Belém Cup), equivalent to the first round of the 2008 Campeonato Paraense, taking the runner-up spot on that championship after a dispute with Clube do Remo. In 2010, the team won the "Taça Estado do Pará" (State of Pará Cup), equivalent to the second round of the state championship. However, when playing in the final of the state championship against Paysandu, Águia lost the dispute for the "Taça Açaí", the title of 2010 Campeonato Paraense.[4]

In the 2013 Campeonato Paraense, the poor performance of the team earned it relegation to the championship access division (first phase of the first state division). For the 2013/2014 Campeonato Paraense, Águia was disputing the "ACLEP Cup", however in another inglorious performance, the club did not get access to the main division, finishing the event in third place (only the two best teams qualified).[5]

In the 2014 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C dispute, the club was very close to being relegated, only surviving in the last round.[8] That same year, in its worst campaign since then, the team was relegated to the Campeonato Paraense Second Division.[9]

However, in the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, after losing to Fortaleza by 4x1, Águia was relegated to the 2016 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D (the fourth division of Brazilian football).[10]

In 2015, Águia managed, in an undefeated campaign (shortly after the club's relegation to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D), to win the Campeonato Paraense Second Division, beating São Raimundo by 1x0 in the Estádio Municipal Zinho de Oliveira.[11]

In 2022, Águia de Marabá had a significant change in its technical command, with the departure of João Galvão.[12] Despite this, the club won fourth place in the 2022 Campeonato Paraense (Águia's best campaign since 2013) and thus got qualified to the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D[13] and to the 2023 Copa do Brasil (Brazil Cup).

In the Copa do Brasil, Águia had a beautiful campaign that culminated in its best campaign ever in the competition. The team reached the third round of the competition. In the Zinho de Olivera stadium (in the first round), Águia passed through Botafogo-PB by the score of 2x1 (advancing to the second round) and, in the same stadium and in a heroic way, after a tough match that ended in 0x0, Águia was superior in a penalty shoot-out and eliminated Goiás (a team in the first tier of Brazilian football). Thus, advancing to the third round.[14][15]

Águia de Marabá's campaign in the national competition ended in the third round. At this stage, the team faced Fortaleza (a team also in the first tier of Brazilian football) and was thrashed on both occasions of the confrontation. Highlight for goalkeeper Axel Lopes, who even despite being thrashed still contributed with incredible defenses.

In the 2023 Campeonato Paraense the team played 14 matches, getting 8 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, scoring 21 goals and conceding 12 goals. Águia de Marabá qualified for the third time in its history for a state final. In the final, Águia entered the field against Clube do Remo already with the advantage of having won the first match, by 1x0, at the Zinho de Oliveira stadium, in Marabá. In the second game, at Baenão in Belém, Remo won in normal time by 2x1, forcing a penalty shoot-out. On penalties, Águia beat Remo, by 5x4, managing to become state champion for the first time, and in the opponent's home.
