History

The club was founded on May 31, 1930.[1] Siderúrgica won the Campeonato Mineiro in 1937, and in 1964.[2] They competed in the Taça Brasil in 1965, when they finished the tournament in seventh place.

In 1967 the Belgo-Mineira Ironworks Company ceased its financial support to the club[1] and so Siderúrgica ceased its own Professional Football department and became an amateur club again.

The club played professional tournaments in 1992, 1997 and 2007, in the Segunda Divisão of Campeonato Mineiro of these three years, unsuccessfully trying to return to higher levels of the State championship. In 2011, Siderúrgica will play the Segunda Divisão again.[3]
