Várzea Grande Esporte Clube is the same club and company formerly known as Operário FC Ltda. The change of name and visual identity preserves its entire sporting history. State titles, academy and women’s achievements, and the 2025 Second Division runners-up finish that secured promotion to the 2026 top flight are all part of one history. Our City. Our Club.
On 28 May 2006, the club, then known as Operário FC Ltda, won the Mato Grosso state championship against Barra do Garças. After a 2–0 first-leg victory, the team came from behind to win the return leg 2–1 at Zeca Costa under coach Carlos Rufino.
The club won the Mato Grosso Women’s Championship in 2014, 2018, 2019 and 2024. For the most recent title, still known as Operário FC, the team beat Ação 1–0 at the Dutrinha with a goal from Aissa.
The 2015 and 2018 titles are part of the club’s history in the state Second Division. In 2025, a runners-up finish secured another promotion to Mato Grosso’s top flight for the 2026 season.
On 27 November 2005, while still known as Operário FC Ltda, the club won the Copa Governador de Mato Grosso against Mixto. A 1–0 first-leg victory and a 2–2 draw in the return leg at Verdão secured the title.
Still known as Operário FC, the club won the 2023 U17 state championship against Cuiabá. The campaign was a milestone in player development and secured a place in the 2024 U17 Copa do Brasil.
The 2023 title followed a goalless final against Cuiabá at the Dutrinha. A 5–4 penalty shoot-out victory brought the trophy to the club then known as Operário FC.
The state titles of 2014, 2018, 2019 and 2024 are part of the history of our women’s team. In 2026, Várzea Grande competed in the Brazilian Women’s A3 Championship and finished as runners-up in the inaugural Mato Grosso Women’s U20 Championship.
A journey built by players who represent the club in state and national competitions.
