History

The club was founded on December 27, 1994 as Clube Malutrom by the Malucelli and Trombini families. Malutrom is a portmanteau of Malucelli and Trombini ^[1]

In 2000, Malutrom won the Copa João Havelange Green and White Module playoff, beating Uberlândia, and thus qualifying to the Eightfinals, where the club was eliminated by Cruzeiro.^[2]

In 2005, the club was renamed to J. Malucelli Futebol.^[3]

In 2007, the club won the Copa Paraná, after beating Londrina in the final, at Eco-Estádio Janguito Malucelli, and thus qualifying to that year's Recopa Sul-Brasileira, and also qualifying to the following year's Copa do Brasil and Campeonato Brasileiro Série C.^[4] The club was eliminated by Caxias in the 2007 Recopa Sul-Brasileira semifinals.^[5]

Corinthians Paranaense

The club was renamed to Sport Club Corinthians Paranaense in 2009, after being officially registered at the Brazilian Football Confederation. The club adopted a logo and kits similar to the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista ones.^[6]

J. Malucelli again

After three years as Corinthians Paranaense, the club was officially renamed back to J. Malucelli Futebol on August 10, 2012.^[7][8] After being relegated in the Paraná championship of 2017, the team shut down.^[9]
