History
On October 10, 1911, some business owners from Ribeirão Preto founded Commercial Football Club and the club soon became very wealthy. The field from Estádio da Rua Tibiriçá was one of the first in Brazil to receive grass, because the club's supporters complained of the dust in the air during the games. In 1936, the club has experienced a financial crisis and the Football Department was closed. In 1956, Commercial merged with Paineiras and become Comercial Football Club, entering the second division from Campeonato Paulista that same year.
In 1958, Comercial won its first title, the Campeonato Paulista Second Level, beating Corinthians of Presidente Prudente in the final. The club was promoted to the following year's first level.
In 1978, the club competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A for the first time. The club finished in the 42nd position.
In 1979, the club competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A for the second time. The club finished in the 14th position, ahead of clubs like Grêmio, Fluminense and Botafogo (RJ).
Comercial FC har vundet Campeonato Paulista Série A2 fire gange (1958, 1979, 1994 og 2002) og Campeonato Paulista Série B én gang (2018). Klubben har også været nummer to i Campeonato Paulista Série A1 tre gange (1919, 1920 og 1922).
