The club itself grew out of something unrelated to football: a priest, Padre José Balestiere, had founded the Associação Mariana in 1938 to bring Catholic parish groups together, and it was a group led by Major Francisco Ferraz de Lima who later split off to put a football team on the pitch for the Vila Nova neighbourhood. Money trouble then took the name away for almost a decade — the club played as Operário, then Araguaia, then Fênix — before Vila Nova Futebol Clube was restored in 1955, twelve years after the original founding in 1943.
What the name has stood for since is Goiás state football.
None of that carries the weight, in the city, of the Derby do Cerrado.
