History

Metropol closed their professional football department in 1969, shortly after winning the state championship, due to a disagreement with the Santa Catarina State Football Federation. The club then started to compete again in amateur competitions.

Metropol played their home games at Estádio Euvaldo Loudi. The stadium had a maximum capacity of 20,000 people.
