Itumbiara Esporte Clube, usually known simply as Itumbiara, is a Brazilian football club from Itumbiara, Goiás state. The club competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A in 1979 and won the state championship in 2008.

History

On March 9, 1970, Itumbiara Esporte Clube was founded, as a result of the merger of local teams Goiás (founded in 1964) and Nacional (founded in 1952).

In 1979, Itumbiara competed in the top level of the Brazilian Championship, finishing in the 64th position.

In 2008, Itumbiara won the state championship for the first time, after beating Goiás 1–0 and 3–0 in the final.

In 2010, Itumbiara finished state championship on 9th and penultimate place and were relegated to second level. Due to this performance they were qualified to 2011 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D because all 2011 Campeonato Goiano teams withdrew.
