In football, the club plays at the Estádio Municipal Zinho de Oliveira, nicknamed the "Ninho das Aves" (Birds’ Nest).

[5] At the last vice-championship, Águia's president was already Jorge Nery, who, sought by councilor Sebastião "Ferreirinha" Ferreira Neto in 1999, agreed to professionalize the team.

The proposal gained support from the then president of the Federação Paraense de Futebol (FPF; Pará Football Federation), Coronel Nunes [pt], from the Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (Doce River Valley Company; today Vale) and from the local business community.

[4] In 2002, the team did not have a good participation in the state championship [pt] as well as in the Série C, and ended the season being coached by football director João Maria Galvão Gonçalves.

[6] In this competition the team qualified for the second stage by eliminating América Mineiro, winning the first match 2–1 at home and 1–0 in Belo Horizonte.

[24] In 2015, in its worst campaign in the state championship since then, Águia finished in ninth place out of ten teams in the first stage, being relegated to the 2016 Campeonato Paraense Segunda Divisão.

[29] Having a good participation in the 2016 Copa Verde de Futebol (Green Cup) — a competition Águia entered based on the ranking of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) —, the team had another setback when it was excluded from the competition by the Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva [pt] (STJD; Superior Court of Sports Justice) due to the irregular line-up of full-back Léo Rosa.

[32] The team entered, again due to the CBF ranking criteria, in the 2017 Copa Verde de Futebol, achieving a surprising participation in the quarter-finals, placing 8th overall.

[38][39] Águia de Marabá's campaign in the national competition ended in the third round when they faced Fortaleza (a team also in the first tier of Brazilian football) and was thrashed on both confronts.

In the final, Águia entered the field against Clube do Remo already with the advantage of having won the first match, by 1–0, at the Zinho de Oliveira stadium, in Marabá.

During the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D, the team lost its state champion coach Mathaus Sodré due to disagreements with the club's board,[40] with Rafael Jacques taking his place.

[41] After finishing the group stage of the competition in third place, the team advanced to the round of 16 and was eliminated by Atlético Cearense.

[42] Before its elimination, Águia had broken the record for average attendance in home games among teams from the northern region participating in the competition, selling out the Zinho de Oliveira stadium in all matches.

[43] Águia finished in 24th place overall, occupying the same position as in the 2016 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D (until then, the last time the team had participated in the competition).

Gavião Kyikatejê, who inherited and owns the rights of Castanheira,[46] has been cited as a rival of Águia de Marabá at least since 2009, when Gavião became a professional club, with the games between the teams being called Clássico Marabaense or Clássico das Aves (Classic of Marabá or Classic of Birds, respectively).
