History

On 27 February 2019, after CONMEBOL's demand that the male teams which would play in the 2019 Copa Libertadores needed to have an active women's team, Cruzeiro created their women's football section.[1] The club won the Campeonato Mineiro in their inaugural season, defeating América Mineiro in the final.[2]
