History of Henrique C. - Viseu, Portugal
Founded on December 12, 2001, Cuiabá Esporte Clube was created by former player Luís Carlos Toffoli, known as Gaucho. Auriverde da Baixada was created to compete in the base categories, as its founder wanted students from the Gaúcho Football School, which was created after he stopped playing, to participate in the championships. 2 years later, however, the professional team was also playing in the Mato-Grossense Championship.
