History

Founded in 1979 in the city of Caxias, Juventude only played amateur competitions until 2005, when it played in the Campeonato Maranhense Second Division. After finishing second, the club achieved promotion and played the 2006 Campeonato Maranhense, but finished in the last position and later went to inactivity.

The club then played the second division again in 2008, before staying ten years without playing and moving to São Mateus do Maranhão.[2] After finishing fourth in 2018, the club won the second division in 2019, and late in the year, also won the Copa FMF, qualifying for the 2020 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[3]
