History
Palmas Futebol e Regatas was founded on January 31, 1997, after borrowing Canelas documentation, which was already regularized at Tocantins Football Federation, thus, becoming the first professional club of the city. Tocantins Governor Siqueira Campos was the first person to sign the club's foundation minute.[2]
On March 30, 1997, at Estádio General Sampaio, Porto Nacional, Belziran José de Souza scored the club's first goal. However, Palmas was beaten by Interporto 2–1.[2]

On January 24, 2021, Palmas' special plane crashed on the way to Goiânia, killing the president of the club Lucas Meira, four footballers and the pilot.[6]
On January 26, 2023, Palmas announced its withdrawal from the 2023 Tocantinense Football Championship.
