Several other families had an important passage and that are parts of the club's history, such as Diógenes, Pinho, Ribeiro, Frota, and Patriota.

With great values, Atlético Acreano began to dominate the Segundo Distrito. The passion that the blue and white team caused, soon received the slogan "Glória de um Povo, orgulho de Uma Cidade". (The glory of a people, proud of a city).
