The team's home is the Estádio do Trabalhador, a venue with a capacity for over 8,000 spectators. Founded in 1909, it is one of the oldest clubs in the interior of Rio de Janeiro state, traditionally wearing blue and white stripes. The club's history is one of steady presence in the state's lower divisions, with occasional forays into the top-tier Campeonato Carioca, where they have provided tough opposition for the famous Rio giants. The modern era is focused on developing local talent and achieving promotion back to the elite Série A1. The club has a loyal local fanbase that supports the team with great pride. Resende-RJ represents the enduring football culture of the state's interior, away from the glamour of the capital.
