History

Grêmio played their first match as a women's team in September 1983, and finished second in the year's Campeonato Gaúcho de Futebol Feminino. The club only returned to an active status in 1997,[1] finishing third in the Gaúcho in that year.

After two runner-up achievements in 1998 and 1999, Grêmio won their first Gaúcho title in 2000, and achieved a second consecutive title in 2001. In 2002, after losing the Gaúcho title to rivals Internacional, the women's football section was closed.

After a period of inactivities, Grêmio re-opened their women's football section in 2017.[2] They won the Gaúcho tournament in 2018.

In 2019, the team was promoted to the first division of the women's national championship with a victory over a América Mineiro in the quarterfinals.[3] The team clinched a spot in the playoffs in 2020 and 2021, eliminated in both occasions on the quarterfinals.[4][5]
