History

Águia de Marabá Futebol Clube was founded on January 22, 1982, under the name of Águia Esporte Clube and had as its first president the sportsman Emivaldo Milhomem, who had the support of Valtemir "Bezourão" Pereira Lima to found the association. The team had been created to compete in the Campeonato Marabaense Second Division of that year. The team was composed of amateur players, the most notable being: Déca, Gamito and Keneddi. The team won the Campeonato Marabaense Second Division title in 1984, which gave the team the right to compete in the Campeonato Marabaense First Division the following year.


Early years and professionalization

At this stage of its history, Águia had José "Zé" Atlas Pinheiro as president. 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. 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">:pt:Coronel_Nunes">pt/small>, from the ''Companhia Vale do Rio Doce'' (

In the 1999 Campeonato Paraense pt">:pt:Campeonato_Paraense_de_Futebol_de_1999">pt/small>, Águia’s debut competition as a professional team, the team finished among the top six 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. In 2000, the following year as a professional, Águia won the title of the Copa Ferreirinha (the first edition of the "Copa Meio-Norte" id-North Cup, a tournament created to honor the idealizer of the team's professionalization, played by teams from Pará and the states of

Precisely due to this good performance in the 2001 state championship, the team from Marabá was guaranteed the right to compete in the 2001 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C (the third division of Brazilian football), where they had discrete performances, however, above the expectations of the board and Águia fans.


Decade of consolidation: 2002–2012

In 2002, the team did not have a good participation in the state championship pt">:pt:Campeonato_Paraense_de_Futebol_de_2002">pt/small> as well as in the Série C, and ended the season being coached by football director João Maria Galvão Gonçalves.

. By being the runner-up in the state championship, the team gained access to the 2008 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. From this season onwards, Águia had a period of greater regularity, adding eight consecutive appearances in the Série C. In 2008, in fact, the team came very close to being promoted to the 2009 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, placing fifth overall (only four teams were promoted). The runner-up championship in the 2008 Campeonato Paraense earned the team a place in the 2009 Copa do Brasil (Brazil Cup).

and Série C were more timid, with the exception of the campaign on the latter competition in 2010, when Águia reached the quarter-finals.


Decline, relegation and setbacks: 2013–2016

In the 2013 Campeonato Paraense, the team's poor performance resulted in them being demoted to the first stage of the first state division the following year. For the 2014 Campeonato Paraense, Águia was competing in the "Taça ACLEP" (ACLEP Cup; the first stage of the championship). However, in yet another inglorious performance, they were unable to reach the second stage, finishing the stage in third place (only the two best teams were qualified). Águia came very close to being relegated in the 2014 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, only escaping relegation in the last round. 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. In the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, after losing to

), the title of champion of the Campeonato Paraense Segunda Divisão, beating São Raimundo 1–0 at Zinho de Oliveira. This characteristic of the Campeonato Paraense, where the lower division is played in the same year as the higher division, made Águia, being relegated in 2015, play in the first division in 2016. Starting the year with the 2016 Campeonato Paraense, after a good first stage, Águia finished the second stage by almost being relegated again. Then, still in 2016, competing in the Série D for the first time after being relegated from the Série C, Águia was eliminated in the second stage of the competition, finishing in 24th place overall.

Restructuring in the Campeonato Paraense and a return to the national scene: 2017–2023

Between 2017 and 2021, Águia did not gain access to national competitions and only competed in the Campeonato Paraense. It was a period of average performances, only to guarantee the team in the first division of the state. Its best position in the Campeonato Paraense, between

, was a 5th place in the 2017 edition. 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. Even with such fluctuating results from 2015 to 2017, the subsequent period, 2017 to 2021, was one of severe financial crisis for the team. In 2022, Águia had a significant change in its technical command, with the departure of João Galvão. Despite this, the team from Marabá won 4th place in the 2022 Campeonato Paraense (its best campaign since the 2012 edition) and thus guaranteed its presence in the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D and the 2023 Copa do Brasil. In the Copa do Brasil, Águia had a splendid campaign that culminated in its best campaign ever in the competition, reaching its

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. 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. 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).

In addition to TOAM, four other organizations stand out: ''Revolução Azul'' (Blue Revolution); ''Fiel da Folha 28'' (Faithful from the Folha 28). ''Jovem Águia'' (Young Eagle), and; ''Garra Azul Fiel'' (Faithful Blue Claw).


Stadium

Águia de Marabá play their home games at the Estádio Municipal Zinho de Oliveira. The stadium has a maximum capacity of 5,000 people.


Rivalries

Regional sports journalism recognizes the former association Castanheira Esporte Clube as the main rival of Águia, a traditional team from Marabá of which Águia played with in three municipal championship finals, in 1993, 1996 and 1998. Gavião Kyikatejê, who inherited and owns the rights of Castanheira, 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). At the intra-regional level (south and southeast of
