History
On November 9, 1925, the club was founded as Mirassol Esporte Clube.
In 1960, another club was founded in the same city, Grêmio Recreação Esporte Cultura Mirassol. Both clubs became rivals until 1963, when they were playing in São Paulo State Championship Third Level.
In 1964, Mirassol Esporte Clube and Grêmio Recreação Esporte Cultura Mirassol (usually nicknamed GREC) fused, and the new club was named Mirassol Atlético Clube.
In 1982, Mirassol Atlético Clube folded, and the club was then renamed to Mirassol Futebol Clube.
In 1997, Mirassol won its first title, the São Paulo State Championship Third Level, beating União Barbarense, Olímpia, and São Caetano in the final four group stage.
In 2007, the club finished in second in its group in the São Paulo State Second Level semifinal stage, thus being promoted for the first time in club's history to São Paulo State Championship Top Level.
Mirassol și-a petrecut cea mai mare parte a istoriei în ligile inferioare ale fotbalului brazilian, însă a obținut succes recent, câștigând Campeonato Paulista Série A2 în 2022 și obținând promovarea în Campeonato Paulista Série A1.
Stadionul de casă al echipei este Stadionul José Maria de Campos Maia, cunoscut și sub numele de "Maião", care are o capacitate de aproximativ 15.000 de locuri.
Culorile tradiționale ale clubului sunt alb și roșu, iar porecla lor este "Leão da Alta Araraquarense" (Leul din nordul Araraquarei).
