Founded on 4 December 1989, it competes in the Campeonato Paulista Série A4, the fourth tier of the São Paulo state football league, and plays its home games at Estádio Anacleto Campanella.

Unlike many teams that rise prominently then quickly fall back to obscurity, São Caetano had another strong campaign in 2001.

Olimpia won the shootout 4-2, causing Sao Caetano to finish runner-up for the third consecutive time.
