The club was created in 1997 as part of Santos, in a partnership with Fundação Pró-Esportes de Santos (Fupes). They won two national competitions, which are the Liga Nacional in 2007, the Copa do Brasil in 2008. The club won the Copa Mercosul in 2006, and the Campeonato Paulista in 2007. The Campeonato Paulista organized by LINAF was won by Santos in 2009, beating Corinthians in the final. Santos competed in the 2009Copa Libertadores, winning the competition after beating Universidad Autónoma of Paraguay 9–0 in the final, played on 18 October. They won the 2009 Copa do Brasil on 1 December 2009, after beating Botucatu 3–0 in the final, played at Estádio do Pacaembu. In 2010, they won again the Copa Libertadores, after beating Everton 1–0 in Arena Barueri, and in 2011 they won the Campeonato Paulista again, after they beat Centro Olímpico in the final.
Closure 2012
The women's section was closed in 2012. The club's president Luis Álvaro de Oliveira Ribeiro closed down the women's team and the men's futsal team because an alleged lack of sponsorship meant they were not self-sustaining. It was attributed to the effort of holding male star player Neymar at Santos.
2015 Reestablishment
In 2015 incoming Santos president Modesto Roma Júnior reinstated the women's team, as part of wider reforms aimed at repairing the previous regime's financial mismanagement.
